Deadly bombing
The week's news at a glance.
Bogotá
A car bomb blew apart an exclusive social club in Bogotá last week, killing 33 people and injuring 168. Six of the dead were children. The blast at Club El Nogal was Colombia’s deadliest since a wave of attacks by drug traffickers a decade ago. Police blamed the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by its Spanish acronym FARC. President Alvaro Uribe vowed to continue his crackdown on leftist rebels. “Colombia cries but does not surrender,” he said. Wealthy Colombians said they feared that guerrillas had decided to treat them as military targets. “There will be no traveling, no movies, no malls,” said a man as he waited for word of his sister-in-law, who was missing in the rubble. “This has changed everything.”
