The Frecuencia Latina bombing was a terrorist attack in Lima, Peru on June 5 1992. It was perpetrated by the terrorist organization Shining Path, which detonated a truck bomb at the primary headquarters of television channel Frecuencia 2 (renamed Latina Televisión in 2014) in Lima's Jesús María district. The explosive was constructed using a truck belonging to the Peruvian Naval Infantry, which was robbed approximately two hours prior and was rigged with a payload of approximately 600 kilograms (1,300 lb) of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil mixed with dynamite. The truck was brought to the aforementioned television station and was detonated. The facilities of the television station were destroyed and had to be reconstructed.^[1]^[2]^[3] The bomb also destroyed several nearby vehicles and a school of architecture across the street from the station.^[4]

The attack injured over 20 people, and killed television producer Alejandro Pérez and guards Javier Requis and Teddy Hidalgo.^[3]^[5]
