Suspected rebels in Peru are holding seven workers they kidnapped from a natural gas project, reports say.
The Shining Path rebels are demanding the release of captured leader "Artemio" in return for the hostages.
The gunmen initially seized 30 workers on the Camisea natural gas development in the southern region of Cusco, but were later said to have released 23.
Artemio, one of the last leaders of the once-powerful Shining Path movement, was captured in February.
The Maoist group posed a major challenge to the Peruvian state in the 1980s and early 1990s, but is now reduced to small bands involved in cocaine trafficking.
The Camisea project is a major development bringing natural gas from the Amazon across the Andes to consumers throughout Peru.
The workers were seized in a remote jungle region not far from the Apurimac-Ene valley - one of the last strongholds of the Shining Path.
They are reported to be employees of the company Skanska, which services Peru's main natural gas pipeline.

"[I]t’s hard to keep potent historical truths bottled up forever. New data repositories are uncovered. New, less ideological, generations of historians grow up. In the late 1980s and before, Ann Druyan and I would routinely smuggle copies of Trotsky’s History of the Russian Revolution into the USSR—so our colleagues could know a little about their own political beginnings.”
--Carl Sagan
Something tells me the Peruvian state isn't going to hand over a Marxist leader in exchange for workers...

Didn't they voted in some progressive guy named ollenta?
I'm not sure, haven't been keeping up with their elections. Even if they did though it won't mean that the exchange will be made. A slightly higher possibility but that till isn't saying much.
