Coordinated Attacks Kill Seven in Southwest Colombia

News summary

At least 19 coordinated bomb and gun attacks struck southwest Colombia on Tuesday, targeting police stations, municipal buildings, and civilian areas in Cali and neighboring towns, resulting in at least seven deaths and dozens of injuries. Authorities attribute the attacks to FARC-EMC, a dissident faction formed by former FARC members who rejected the 2016 peace deal, although the group has not claimed responsibility. The violence included car and motorcycle bombs, rifle fire, and possibly a drone, erupting days after an assassination attempt on conservative presidential candidate Miguel Uribe. The attacks have led to heightened security measures and ongoing investigations by police and government officials. Peace talks between the government and FARC-EMC have stalled, while negotiations with another faction continue. The events underscore Colombia's fragile security and the persistent threat from guerrilla groups.
