He suspended constitutional rule last April. Fujimori has accused "political interests" of being behind the coup attempt, but opposition politicians contend the whole story is an attempt to discredit them and to distract public opinion from the real issues of the campaign. The Peruvian leader said 20 to 25 retired and active military officers had been captured in connection with the coup attempt. This article is copyright 1992 The Los Angeles Times Home Edition.
