FARC Guerillas Blamed for Bombing that Left 8 Injured, Including 3 Children
At least eight civilians, including three minors, were injured in a bombing in the southwestern Colombian province of Nariño that authorities blamed on leftist FARC guerrillas.
The explosion rocked the main square in Leyva, some 185 kilometers (115 miles) north of the provincial capital, Pasto.
The ombudsman’s office in Nariño said in a statement that most of the wounded were treated at a local clinic, while two people in critical condition were taken to Pasto.
Leyva’s mayor, Wilfredo Bolaños, told media outlets he suspected the target of the attack was a police station by the square and that the blast was the work of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, which carried out an operation in the area last week.
FARC, the oldest and largest guerrilla organization in Latin America, continues peace talks in Havana with the Colombian government.
