Horse-bomb explodes in the country of Colombia. Bogota (AP)-
At least 25 houses and five vehicles resulted with light damage from the detonation of loaded explosives from guerilla in a horse in the municipality of Cumbitara, as confirmed Tuesday by the police department of Nariño.
The rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia left a tied up horse-bomb 30 meters from the police station and they made the detonation in that municipality, located 480 KM southwest of Bogota.
The explosion did not leave human victims, but it damaged materials in house of this neighborhood. Although the deed occurred Sunday, it was known Tuesday because of the distance of the neighborhood.
The governor of the department of Nariño, Eduardo Zuniga, attributed the attempt to the “irrationality of the war.”
In the past, the rebels had loaded with explosives donkeys, soccer balls, books, bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles in the mark of their guerrilla war that looks to topple the government.
