MSNBC / AP Peru high court orders new trial for No. 2 Shining Path rebel: "Constitutional tribune judge Delia Revoredo said Wednesday the 1979 constitution — in effect at the time of Iparraguirre's trial — did not allow civilians to be tried in military courts unless Peru was at war." Elena Iparraguirre was not No. 2 in Sendero. She was a personal aide to Abimael Guzman and his lover. The courts are starting to challenge anti-terrorism laws on constitutional grounds.
