Explosive Device Found in Residential Neighborhood of Bogota, Colombia
Colombian police performed a controlled detonation Friday of an explosive device that had been planted behind a building in a residential neighborhood of Bogota.
The bomb was found behind a building on Carrera 7 (7th Avenue), one of the principal throroughfares of the Colombian capital, in an area where there are also several embassies and consulates, the closest being those of Venezuela and Japan.
“We knew about the device and we proceeded to detonate it in a controlled manner. No injuries or material damage were caused in the area. The threat has been deactivated,” the chief of the Metropolitan Police of Bogota, Gen. Humberto Guatibonza, told the press.
The bomb was detonated by police experts who blocked traffic from the avenue after local residents reported the suspicious package.
In this neighborhood, according to the daily El Tiempo, lives the head of the leftist Patriotic Union party, Aida Avella, who in 1996 went into exile in Switzerland after surviving without injuries an attack against her when she was a city councilwoman in Bogota.
Guatibonza said the authorities are trying to discover who planted the explosive charge.
On June 20, a bomb containing 500 grams (17 ounces) of pentolite exploded behind a police post in the busy Plaza de Lourdes, in the Bogota neighborhood of Chapinero, leaving one civilian and two police officers wounded.
Responsibility for the attack was claimed days later by the National Liberation Army, or ELN, guerrilla group, which said it was celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding.
