AFP. 27 January 2002. Sixteen wounded in two grenade attacks in Colombia.
BOGOTA -- Eight people were wounded in a grenade attack believed to be the work of urban guerrillas linked to Colombia's largest leftist rebel group FARC, police said Sunday. One man was arrested after allegedly throwing a fragmentation grenade into the shop late Saturday in an attack in a southern district of the capital. "Everything indicates that this attack was committed by the urban militias of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)," said a source in the national police. The incident occurred less than a kilometer (0.6 mile) from a restaurant where an explosives-laden bicycle exploded Friday, killing four police officers and a five-year-old girl, and injuring 21. In a second attack late Saturday, eight people were wounded at Turbo, 950 kilometers (600 miles) north-west of Bogota, a hotly-contested area for guerrillas, military and paramilitary squads. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
