PERUVIAN REBELS BLAMED IN EX-OFFICIAL'S DEATH

Leftist guerrillas on Tuesday shot to death the former director of the Peruvian Social Security Institute and dumped his body on a beach 20 miles south of Lima, police said.

Officials said Felipe Santiago Salaverry's body, riddled with four shots, was found near a sports club on the beach.

Leaflets found near Salaverry's body indicated he was killed by the Shining Path, a radical Maoist-inspired guerrilla group that began its insurgency 10 years ago in the Andean highlands. More than 18,000 people have been killed since their uprising began.
