President Alan Garcia is struggling to contain Peru's worst political violence in years, in a bloody standoff with Amazon indigenous protesters fighting his efforts to exploit oil, gas and other resources on their native lands in the wake of a free trade pact with the United States.
Protest leaders say at least 40 people, including three children, have died in the clashes so far. They say police opened fire from helicopters with bullets and tear gas, while national police director Jose Sanchez Farfan says protesters attacked officers with firearms and set fire to government buildings.
