The Tarata Bombing was a terrorist attack in Lima, Peru on July 16, 1992. Over 40 people died in the attack, and hundreds were injured.
It was perpetrated by commandos of Shining Path on Tarata Street, the business area of Miraflores, an upscale district of the city. In the wake of the incident, galvanized by public outrage, Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori intensified his crackdown on terrorism; Fujimori's efforts would later be criticized as authoritarian.
