At 8:19 p.m. on December 17, 1996, 800 attendees to a reception organized in Lima by Morihisa Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, were held as hostages by the terrorist group MRTA whom were setting the explosives by this moment and were ready to terrorize the attendees.
During this event, thankfully Luis Giampetri was there to aid the hostages with a radio he had: "We explained our plan to Ambassador Aoki, and the only one who was close to Idetaka Ogura (a former hostage who denounced the extrajudicial executions after the rescue), it seems that they talked and the plan was frustrated. After two days all the armored doors were removed". He was key for the next operation.
Taking advantage of the terror they have provoked, MRTA offered to free the hostages from the Japanese embassy while gaining things in return: 1. Release of 465 members of the MRTA in different prisons in the country. 2. An escape route into the jungle and a review of neoliberal reforms.
"That night began a dark chapter in our republican life. The terrorists proposed to negotiate, but this cannot be done under blackmail or terror. Four months later that nightmare culminated thanks to a courageous action by the men who accompany us today."
- Raúl Diez Canseco Terry
Thanks to the devices used in the residence of the Japanese ambassador.
With it: the military observed that MRTA members were very alert at night.In the afternoon, some members played soccer: crucial information to decide the time when the military intervenes in the residence and enter through the tunnels.
71 hostages were released after 126 days of deprivation of liberty.
There were 17 deaths, including two commandos, a hostage, and 14 terrorist members of the MRTA.
"The Japanese couldn't really understand why or how such a thing had happened. And in my country there must always be someone to claim, someone to blame, and that time I had to become the black sheep"
