1. (U) Summary: Based on PNP press releases and news reports, 
SL leader "Comrade Clay"  was shot and killed by Peruvian 
police on 2/19 in a confrontation in Huanuco Department. 
Clay was the military leader for the SL faction in the 
Huallaga Valley, and considered the second in command under 
SL Commander "Artemio."  Evidence found near the body 
believed to be Clay's confirmed his links to the deadly 
Aucayacu attack in December 2005 that killed eight police and 
confirmed payoffs by narcotraffickers to SL for drug courier 
and protection services.  End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) According to Peruvian National Police (PNP) and 
press reports, PNP officers confronted and killed Hector 
Aponte Sinarahua aka "Comrade Clay," aka "Maclovio," aka 
"Chanti."  Clay was the second in command of the Sendero 
Luminoso (SL) column in the Huallaga Valley and considered 
the Lieutenant of SL commander "Artemio"  Two additional 
presumed terrorists were killed in the confrontation, and two 
other presumed terrorists, Clemente Morales Espinoza and a 
minor, were captured.  The operation took place in the 
village of Alto Pacae 10 km south of Aucayacu and 50 km north 
of Tingo Maria in the Huanuco Department.  The police and 
autopsy reports are not yet available.  Every indication is 
that the body is that of Clay, though false rumors of Clay's 
capture or death have circulated in the past. 
 
3. (SBU) According to the PNP press release, the police 
operation was part of the larger counterterrorism program 
"Huallaga Police Front," a government counterterrorism 
initiative created in January in response to the two fatal 
December SL attacks on police (Ref A, B).  However, according 
to some sources it may have been the fruit of routine PNP 
intelligence investigations in the area and not the new 
initiative.  (Note: Given the importance of Clay's death, 
most GOP authorities are claiming some credit. End Note.) 
According to reports, at the time of the confrontation Clay 
was taking part in a celebration at the invitation of local 
residents.  An unconfirmed source claims there may be a 
criminal complaint filed against the police charging that 
Clay was simply working in a field when he was shot without 
resistance. 
 
4. (U) Police reports indicate that documents found in Clay's 
possession implicate him in the design of the December 20, 
2005 fatal ambush on police (Ref A).  Minister of Interior 
Pizarro added that evidence implicated Clay as the architect 
of the February 2005 attack on police resulting in three 
deaths (Ref E).  Other documents found on site indicate that 
Clay and his SL soldiers collected fees from narcotrafficers 
in the area for protection and transport services.  Clay was 
a longtime member of the SL and was directly involved in many 
deadly attacks over the last three decades including the 1989 
bloody attack he led on the police garrison in Uchiza.  Clay 
was previously captured by the police in 1991 and 2001 
following violent actions, but escaped both times. 
 
5. (SBU) Comment: If Clay was indeed killed, as it appears, 
it is a significant accomplishment in the battle against SL 
and a big boost for police morale, particularly as they are 
engaged in a large eradication security operation in the 
Huallaga.  Another SL soldier will no doubt take his place, 
but Clay has been a historical leader with SL and his loss 
hurts the organization.  Post will report further as 
additional information becomes available.  End Comment.
