Tupac Amaru's leader Roli Rojas Fernandez is shown in a December 31, 1996, file photo. Born into poverty and raised under a military dictatorship, the rebel negotiator in talks aimed at ending the hostage crisis went from student protester to guerrilla during PeruÕs violent 1980s. Rojas, 34, on Tuesday became the first rebel to venture from the Japanese ambassador's residence since Tupac Amaru members seized the home on December 17, 1996 and took hundreds of people hostage.
