LIMA (Reuters) - An isolated Amazonian tribe in Peru killed a indigenous man and wounded two others last week in the latest clash involving Mashco Piro Indians as they emerge more frequently from their jungle enclaves, the government said on Wednesday.

The nomadic Mashco Piro turned their bows and arrows on members of the settled Nahua Indian tribe who had followed their footprints into the wilderness near their town Santa Rosa de Serjali in the region of Ucayali, said Deputy Culture Minister Alfredo Luna.
