Peru government says sorry for university massacre

Peru’s government apologised for a 1992 university massacre by a military death squad during the “rising dictatorial regime” of jailed former President Alberto Fujimori.

The 69-year-old politician is expected to stand trial next month on murder charges, including the death squad killings at La Cantuta University of nine students and a professor who were suspected of collaborating with the Maoist Shining Path rebels.
