 LIMA, Peru (AP) - Former President Alberto Fujimori stunned followers and foes alike when he landed in neighboring Chile a week ago aboard a private jet, defying an arrest warrant in his zeal to restart his political career in Peru.
During his decade-long rule, Fujimori gained a reputation for coolness under fire. That coolness is being tested again as he battles extradition from the Chilean capital Santiago on more than 20 charges of corruption and human rights abuses.
His return to South America ended five years of exile in Japan and initiated what he called the first step toward becoming president again in April elections.
