A few hundred Senderistas remain in south and southeast A few hundred SL rebels are still operative in the country's south and southeast, but a BBC correspondent in Lima says they now pose little threat.
He disassociated himself, for example, from the Lurigancho prison massacre in 1986, when government troops retook the Lima jail after an inmate uprising and used the opportunity to execute a hundred Senderista prisoners gangland-style, with bullets in the back of the head.
Not very near, and far from the road network, but Senderistas have left fliers in small settlements warning against any kind of participation in the election.
