Peru's Fujimori, divisive head of political dynasty, dies at 86

lima, peru — Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, who steered economic growth during the 1990s but was later jailed for human rights abuses stemming from a bloody war against Maoist rebels, died Wednesday. He was 86. Close colleagues visited him earlier in the day, reporting that he was in critical condition. "After a long battle with cancer, our father ... has just departed to meet the Lord," his daughter Keiko Fujimori wrote in a message on X, signed by the former leader's other children.
