    "This is to be absolutely condemned, and it is an offense against people," said the legislator to the press, after indicating that in a democratic system "a police station cannot beattacked."

    The rebel group, made up by some 150 militants and led by Antauro Humala, a former captain of the Peruvian army, occupied Saturday the Andahuaylas station, resulting in six injured, including four police agents (one of them seriously hurt) and two rebels.

    The Interior Ministry sent a 400-strong contingent from Lima and other neighboring regions to the Andahuaylas police station.
