Colombia nodded by bomb blasts, firing in the southwest: 7 killed, 28 injured; 90s style feared returning to guerrilla violence

A wave of 24 coordinated bomb blasts and gun attacks killed at least 7 people in South-Western Columbia on Tuesday and injured 28 others, as the authorities convict dissolved guerrilla fighters that the security experts are saying “well-coordinated aggressives”.,In Cali, nearby cities, including police posts, municipal buildings and the third largest city of civilian-coalombia-and Villa Rica, Guachinte and Corinto, were targeted using car bombs, motorcycle bombs, drones and bullets. AFP journalists laid vehicles and debris on the streets on the streets, with reports of widespread damage to the infrastructure.National Police Chief Carlos Fernando Trina said, “Two police officers have been killed, and many members of the public have also died.” The update later injured seven deadly and about 30 injured.The attack comes only a few days after the attempt to assassinate the conservative senator and presidential candidate Miguel Uribe in Bogota. The high-profile attack, including a teenage gunman, has already increased the possibility of marking guerrilla warfare, cartel bomb blasts and political murders in Colombia’s violent past.In Corinto, resident Luz Amproe described anarchy after an explosion, which destroyed his family’s bakery. “We thought it was an earthquake,” she told AFP, remembering how her husband quickly realized that she was subject to the attack. “Everything was leveled.”Security analysts and police suspect that the attacks were carried out by the Central General Staff (EMC), once a broken group of the major FARC rebel group. “This is a particularly well -coordinated aggressive,” said Elizabeth Dicinson of the International Crisis Group. “This actually shows the ability that the group has created … and their ability to operate in the metropolitan field of Callie.,Dicinson suggested that the attacks may be vengeance for the ongoing military operations that were reportedly eliminated by EMC, “Ivan Mordisco was injured or killed.” In a statement, the EMC warned the citizens to avoid military and police facilities, but did not claim responsibility.President Gustavo Petro, whose EMC has repeatedly failed for armed groups, faces growing criticism on security flaws. After an attempt on Uribe’s life – in which the senator was shot in the head twice – Petro estimated on social media that an international “mafia” might have orchized the hit, and questioned why Uribe’s security was back before the incident.
