Paraguayan soldiers to continue hunt for elusive rebels

Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo says soldiers sent to the north of the country to hunt down members of a small rebel group will stay in the region for the foreseeable future.

Mr Lugo says the battle against the Paraguayan People's Army (PPA) will continue, even though so far only one of the group has been arrested.

The government blames the rebels for a number of kidnappings and murders.

I'm surprised that Lugo doesn't get more support here. He is a great leftist leader. I suspect it's because he is fighting marxists.
