Death toll rises to 20 in Colombian highway bombing as president blames FARC dissidents
A bombing on the Pan-American Highway in Colombia's southern Cauca region has killed 20 people and injured 36, including minors. President Gustavo Petro blamed the attack on rebels linked to dissident factions of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), calling them terrorists and drug traffickers. The attack created a 200-metre crater and marks the most brutal violence against civilians in the region in decades, occurring one month before the May 31 presidential election.
