Left-wing Shining Path rebels in Peru have burned three helicopters used by a private gas consortium, officials say.
The attack in the early hours of Saturday 6 October 2012 happened at the airfield in Kiteni, in the jungle region of Cusco, close to the only natural gas pipeline in the country.
No-one was injured or abducted, the military said. It is not clear why the rebels attacked the airstrip.
Local media said the rebels may have been trying to ambush a military patrol, and when they failed, decided to attack the airstrip instead.
