Actress Cameron Diaz has apologised foe carrying a bag in Peru which featured a political slogan likely to be considered offensive by local people.
She visited the histrical Machu Picchu site to record a TV programme celebrating Peruvian culture ,with a green bag which had a red star and the words"serve the people" printed in chinese.
It evoked memories of a Peruvian war against Maoist rebels in the 1980s and '90s, when up to 69,000 people died..
She apologized " I'm sorry for any people's pain and suffering , and it was certainly never my intention to reopen what I now know is a painful wound in this country's history."

Colombian drugs money case fails
The trial of 147 Colombian soldiers accused of stealing $20m in guerrilla drug money has collapsed.
While 99 of the troops were being tried in their absence, the remainder were freed after irregularities in the legal process were discovered.
They would re-present case that all were allegedly on patrol in 2003 in the rebel-dominated southern jungles,where they stumbled across the proceeds of rebel drug deals and kidnap ransoms.
