Analysis Summary:

The article is mostly accurate, with the core claim of the kidnapping and deaths of 13 security guards verified by multiple sources. However, the claim about "a wave of crime" and the government declaring a state of emergency lacks specific context and could be interpreted as slightly biased, as it is a broad statement without specific details provided in the given sources.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** 13 security guards kidnapped from a Peruvian gold mine found dead.
  • Verification Source #1, #2, #3, and #4: All support this claim.
• Claim:** Much of Peru is awash in a wave of crime that prompted the government to declare a state of emergency last month.
  • Verification Source #1, #2, #3, and #4: Do not specifically confirm or deny this claim. They focus on the kidnapping and deaths.
  • Verification Source #5: Does not cover the current event.
  • Internal Knowledge:* While the sources provided do not confirm this, it is plausible that Peru is experiencing a crime wave and a state of emergency. However, without specific details or confirmation from the provided sources, this claim remains unverified within the scope of this analysis. The phrasing "awash in a wave of crime" is also somewhat sensational and contributes to a slightly biased tone.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Verification Source #1, #2, #3, and #4: All confirm the central event: the kidnapping and subsequent discovery of the bodies of 13 security guards from a Peruvian gold mine.
• The claim about the "wave of crime" and state of emergency is not directly supported or contradicted by the provided sources. This lack of specific support, combined with the somewhat sensational language, suggests a potential for bias.
