AFP and Reuters. 8 February 2003. 31 dead in Bogota nightclub bombing, vice president blames FARC rebels.
BOGOTA -- Colombia and the United States blamed Marxist rebels on Saturday for a car bomb that laid waste to a high-society club, killing at least 31 people and injuring about 160 in Bogota's worst bombing in a decade. "I have absolutely no doubt it was the FARC," Colombian Vice President Francisco Santos told reporters. The Club Nogal, a luxurious complex in a wealthy part of the Andean capital complete with restaurants, a hotel and golf driving range, has been a favorite playground for government ministers. But its clientele is mainly wealthy businessmen and their families. The U.S. ambassador's residence is just nearby. On its English-language Web site (www.clubelnogal.com), the club, which costs thousands of dollars to join, boasts of offering "the privilege of having it all." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
