Certain people take a strong interest in Peru:

"Israeli-Russian-Ukrainian mafias are reportedly supplying weapons to insurgents, paramilitaries and drug traffickers in Colombia, Brazil and the Andean region.

"For example, Ukrainian mobsters operating from Tel Aviv and Kiev are believed to have participated in the shipment of 10,000 AK-47s to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 1998 through former Peruvian spy chief Vladimir Montesinos."
