Two civilians were killed and seven police and soldiers wounded in a bomb attack on a Colombian police barracks in Orito, in the southern province of Putumayo, last night.
The dead are believed to be the wife and son of a police officer who is a resident at the base. The officer himself is said to be in a serious condition in hospital.
While some media sources have speculated that the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (FARC-EP) 48th Front were responsible for the attack, the mayor of Orito said he was not willing to speculate on who was responsible adding that both left-wing guerrillas and right-wing paramilitary groups were active in the area.
