Peruvian President Alan Garcia imposed a state of emergency on Lima and its port, ordering the military to quell the worst wave of violence in the capital in nearly six years of insurgency. The military command said a 1 a.m.-to-5 a.m. curfew will take effect Monday morning. It is the first curfew imposed in the capital since 1977. Garcia declared the state of emergency to combat extremists who have shaken Lima with 33 bomb attacks in less than three weeks.
