Overview

On December 17, 1996, MRTA terrorists took hundreds of people hostage at the residence of the Japanese ambassador in Lima, Peru, including ministers and high-ranking military officials. For 126 days, the country remained in suspense as the Peruvian Army secretly planned Operation Chavín de Huantar, an intervention led by Commander Juan Valer.
