    REF: A. LIMA 1929 B. LIMA 1794 C. LIMA 0906

    Classified By: SUSAN KEOGH, NAS DIRECTOR FOR REASON 1.4(c)

    ¶1. (C) Peruvian National Police (PNP), with support from the
    Narcotics Affairs Section (NAS) support and encouragement,
    decided to go after illicit coca in conflictive zones of the
    Huallaga Valley in CY 2005.   We planned coordinated
    interdiction and eradication ops for March and April in the
    Yanajanca area south of Santa Lucia and in the Pizana area to
    the north.  These were areas where GOP attempts to eradicate
    coca had been violently repelled by cocaleros involved in
    narco-trafficking and protected by elements of the Sendero
    Luminoso.

    ¶2.  (U) The PNP mounted interdiction operations to find and
    destroy cocaine base laboratories in the Pizana area in
    February.  Eradication proceeded in Yanajanca in March.
    These police interventions were begun without incident.

    ¶3.  (SBU) Then the cocaleros and narco-traffickers began to
    push back.  In both late February and late March, cocaleros
    protested U.S. and GOP coca eradication efforts by blocking
    major streets and highways with large rocks, wood and other
    debris.  These protests halted most overland vehicular
    traffic in the central jungle regions of the country.  The
    police responded by sending reinforcements to the area to
    clear the road, disperse the protesters and restore order.

    ¶4. (C) Coca growers continue to protest against USAID-funded
    alternative development projects in both the Tingo Maria
    (Department of Huanuco) and San Francisco (Department of
    Ayacucho) areas.  Coca growers have written letters demanding
    that USAID and NGOs leave the area or &face the
    consequences.8  Post continues to monitor this activity and
    encourage host country police officials to assist and provide
    security support to the eradication and alternative
    development operations.

    ¶5.    (c)   Attacks in the coca growing areas have become
    increasingly violent.  Among the most noteworthy: Three PNP
    officers were killed in a road attack on February 20, their
    weapons and supplies stolen and their vehicles burned.
    Evidence left at the scene led the police to believe this was
    a Sendero Luminoso operation in retaliation to recent police
    interdiction operations against illegal wood, gasoline and
    narcotics trafficking.  Another PNP officer was wounded by
    automatic weapons fire in a March 29 attack near Juanjui, San
    Martin.  SL also raided a number of local towns in the same
    region to obtain weapons, ammunition and supplies.

    ¶6. (C) On April 12, 3 NAS helicopters were ambushed by an SL
    patrol on a sandbar in the Huamuco River after they had
    dropped off workers for an eradication mission.  On April 24,
    PNP troops raided a suspected house of an SL leader about 1
    kilometer from the site of the helicopter ambush.  The PNP
    found 3 automatic weapons, munitions and SL propaganda at the
    house and 4 cocaine laboratories nearby.  They detained 9
    people, 4 of whom have subsequently been linked by the Police
    to the helicopter attack.  To the north, the GOP had already
    begun eradicating coca fields in and around Pizana, the
    stronghold of cocalero leader Nancy Obregon.  On April 25,
    cocaleros massed and used slingshots to hurl large stones at
    the remaining helicopters that were extricating the last
    group of PNP security troops.  The tirade of rocks smashed a
    helicopter windshield and damaged a rotor blade (REF A).

    ¶7. (C) Despite the cocalero attacks and protests, the PNP
    continues to support coca eradication efforts.  NAS is
    currently reviewing with the PNP our next steps in the
    Huallaga Valley in view of the threat to life and equipment
    posed by violent attacks by the SL and cocaleros.  The
    cocalero attacks on eradication helicopters with heavy stones
    that can be slung from 80 meters indicate a new level of
    organization and discipline in their ranks that will require
    new tactics in response.  We will encourage media and
    political leadership to focus on the Sendero/narco link more
    clearly that ever.

    ¶8. (SBU) Eradication will continue but at a slower pace.
    These operations will require additional security and incur
    additional costs.  For the months of March and April in the
    Santa Lucia/Pizana area, costs for NAS aviation/police
    program support for eradication increased sharply because of
    additional security precautions.  The 536.07 hectares
    eradicated by CORAH in March cost a total of $796,454 in
    police and aviation support.  In April, as hostilities
    increased, the total of aviation and police support was
    $655,281 for 214 hectares of coca eradicated ) close to
    twice the cost per hectare eradicated in March.
