From Tuesday, the nation\u2019s armed forces were deployed in order to enhance the nation\u2019s security and deliver \u201cforceful blows\u201d to criminals. <\/p>\n<p> Officials voted for the tougher course of action following a<u>brutal attack<\/u>on a nightclub which saw 15 people get blasted by a grenade in the San Juan region of the capital, Lima on Friday (September 15). Despite the ongoing violence, Peru continues to prove a popular destination for American tourists, with nearly half a million visiting the country last year. <\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE:<\/b> <b> <u>Army takes over Honduras&apos; prisons in gang crackdown as naked inmates face harsh tactics<\/u> <\/b> <\/p>\n<p>A \u201cgroup dedicated to extortion\u201d from Venezuela is being attributed to the heinous act, police sources told Exitosa.
