A car bomb attack took place in southwestern Colombia, just one day after President Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn into office. Colombia’s Army said the attack was allegedly carried out by FARC dissident groups that rejected the 2016 peace agreement. Two security guards suffered minor injuries in the blast on the Pan-American Highway, while nearby homes were damaged and windows shattered. Colombian soldiers secured the area and searched for possible additional explosives. The bombing comes after President de la Espriella vowed to take a tough stance against armed and illegal groups in his inaugural speech.
