Peruvian Extreme Leftist, Drug Dealer Finally Captured.

Peru has captured one of the leaders of what remains of the extreme left movement. "Comrade Artemio" was the leader of the "Shining Path" group and was seriously injured in a firefight in the remote reaches of the Peruvian jungles. Florindo Eleuterio Flores, better known as "Artemio" was also involved in drug trafficking, as "Peru is the world's top grower of coca, the raw ingredient for cocaine". Peruvian President Ollanta Humala has fought against the group since he was in the military in the 1990's. The U.S. State Department had offered up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) for his capture or hints to his arrest for drug trafficking and terrorist attacks on Lima, the capital city of Peru.
