A bomb has exploded in a restaurant in the Colombian town of Roncesvalles in the west of the country.
The restaurant is located close to FARC held territory and comes just hours after the Colombian government carried out airstrikes on rebel positions. At least two people were killed and 12 injured in the bomb attack. Reuters news agency has confirmed that the restaurant is popular with local police and is located directly opposite a police station and said most of those injured were security service employees.
Earlier in the day, Colombian government officials claimed that they may have kiled a senior FARC commander in the south of the country following an airstrike on rebel positions. The government claimed that around four rebels were believed to have be killed and that a senior field commander in the rebels southern command may be among them. FARC has not confirmed it has suffered any casualties.
