Lima/Peru

The Peruvian hostage crisis continues into its fifth day and there is still no end in sight.
In the twilight hours of august 7, an unknown number of peruvian Revolutionary Front (PRF) forces slipped into an Ambassador's Residence.
Several dignitaries attending a reception in honor of the signing of the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas were seized.

Currently all hostages have been released, except for 2 security personnel held somewhere within the Ambassador's Residence.
PRF and Peruvian Government representatives are negotiating via cell phone.
The PRF demands include freedom for several members imprisoned in Peruvian jails without trial and the resumption of recently canceled aid and relief programs for harmers in Peru's northern-most provinces.
The PRF has stated that the hostages will not be harmed, but their safety cannot be guaranteed in any sort of armed conflict with Government forces
