Peru editor threatened after attack on newspaper

The offices of the Peruvian newspaper, Integración, have been attacked and its editor threatened. Rocks and bottles were hurled at the daily paper's headquarters in the northwestern city of Huaraz, smashing windows and damaging doors. Ten minutes later the editor, Alcides Peñarando Oropeza, received a phone call warning: "If you don't shut up, worse will befall you." That threat has since been repeated. He believes the incidents are linked to the paper's investigation into alleged corruption involving a local mayor. (Via IFEX)
