"One of the mistakes I made was placing too much trust in Montesinos." — Alberto Fujimori

Now we are showing to the world that this fighting against two terrorist groups was feasible and now we have an isolated case which doesn't mean that terrorism is alive, as it was before.

In fact, this is a blackmail of the terrorists at the expense of the suffering of the hostages.

What we are doing in fact is recovering and progressing and sustaining the recovery of our democracy.

I have strongly rejected the proposal to pardon and transfer her to the United States. I do not have the legal power to pardon terrorists and even if I did, I would not use it.

And $18 million in three Japanese banks, completely false. That I have two factories in Panama, also completely false. This is part of the counter campaign of some people.

I expect that after the election and the results that the international community will understand which was the framework of this process and under which law we have done this process.

We have shown, given these last three years, that we were succeeding in fighting terrorists. While during the first 30 years of the former governments they didn't.

I want to assure your excellency that I am occupying myself permanently and jointly with my team to achieve a solution as soon as possible to this crisis, the principal objective being the safeguarding of the health and life of those who are inside.
