Peru's entire cabinet to offer to quit over scandal


    LIMA (Reuters) - Peruvian President Alan Garcia's entire cabinet will offer to quit in a scandal over oil concessions, Prime Minister Jorge del Castillo said on Thursday.

    Garcia is facing calls from opposition leaders to shake up his cabinet after audio tapes emerged that linked members of his APRA party to a plan to steer lucrative petroleum contracts to favored bidders.
