Marxist Rebels Blamed for Colombia Club Explosion

World | February 9, 2003, Sunday // 00:00

Left-wing rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia were behind Friday's car bombing of a Bogota nightclub, says Colombian Vice President Francisco Santos. At least 33 people, including six children, are now known to have died in the blast at the Club Nogal, and more than 160 people were injured. City officials believe a car packed with 150kg (330 lbs) of explosives was left in a garage on the third floor of the club - a place frequented by Colombia's political elite and foreign diplomats. It is the worst attack in a Colombian city since the death of the Medellin drugs baron, Pablo Escobar, in 1993.
