Car bombs kill at least four in Colombia

At least four people were killed in Colombia this Tuesday, June 10, after rebel groups detonated bombs near police stations in the city of Cali and the neighboring province of Cauca.

Army and police spokesmen blamed the attacks on the FARC-EMC group, an organization led by former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia who broke away from the group after it signed a peace agreement with the government in 2016.

Authorities said the rebels planted bombs in cars and motorbikes that were parked near police stations.

The attacks on police stations came just days after Miguel Uribe, a conservative presidential candidate, was shot during a rally in Bogota. Authorities are investigating who was behind the attack on Uribe, who is in critical condition.

The Colombian government has had difficulty controlling violence in urban and rural areas, as several rebel groups try to take control of territories abandoned by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia after the peace agreement with the government.

Peace talks between the FARC-EMC faction and the government broke down last year after a series of attacks on indigenous communities.

The government is currently holding talks with another faction of the group, led by commander Luis Alberto Alban, also known as Marcos Calarca.
