At least six civilians were killed and 71 other people were wounded following an explosion Thursday at the Marco Fidel Suárez Colombian Air Force Base in Cali, caused by an attack with cylinder bombs thrown from a truck, which missed the military facilities and hit a nearby street, damaging homes and vehicles and injuring people, including passengers on a bus.
Colombian police thwarted an assassination attempt against Rodrigo Londoño, former commander of the demobilized Farc rebels better known by his nom de guerre Timochenko, a senior official said on Sunday.
