Diaz apologises for Maoist slogan

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."
