The Peruvian Congress has approved a resolution allowing for the presence in the country of 18 US military units involving 3,677 personnel. The first contingent arrived soon after the bill was passed, with a second slated to enter the country on Sunday. Legislators had different opinions, with many questioning the risk that is now posed of US interference in Peruvian internal affairs. Rael Mora reports from Lima, teleSUR
