Peru’s anti-terrorism court sentenced four Shining Path rebels to prison for a 2002 car bomb near the U.S. Embassy in Lima that killed 10, a judge said.
The rebels, a man and three women, planted the bomb in a taxi across the street from the embassy days before a visit by President Bush.
The man was “found guilty of terrorism and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. The others received 20 years for their terrorist affiliation,” said Pablo Talavera, president of the anti-terrorism court.
