Three people died, including a police officer, and one agent is still missing after presumed narcoterrorists opened fire against a coca eradication brigade.

According to the Peruvian Police, the attack was started at 10am by some snipers hiding in the rainforest.

Some witnesses that preferred to remain anonymous told EFE news agency that they did not know if the attackers were related to drug traffic only or if they were Shining Path guerrilla remnants.
