Peru Deaths

Linda talks with Calvin Sims, a reporter for the New York Times. They discuss reports that some of the Tupac Amaru rebels who were holding 72 hostages in the Japanese Ambassador's residence in Peru attempted to surrender, but were killed in the military raid that freed the hostages anyway. Families of these rebels have been forbidden to hold funers...and the bodies will be buried in unmarked graves.
