Colombian
Police Foil Terrorist
Attacks
Bogota - Colombian police
on Sunday foiled two terrorist attacks in
the southwestern province of Putumayo which
borders Ecuador, local police said Monday.
The technicians of the National Police
deactivated eight explosive devices
installed by terrorists against a power
center in Putumayo, according to a statement
released by police. Each device contained
450 gram explosive.
"The police officers hurried to the
electricity-generating towers in Putumayo
which connect with the power plants of
Narino province, after hearing a sound of
explosion that affected the infrastructure
of the towers," said the statement.
If the explosive devices had exploded, the
power center would be damaged seriously, and
the electricity service would be interrupted
in Putumayo and some areas in northern
Ecuador.
Also on Sunday, police deactivated four
explosive devices on the outskirts
connecting the municipalities of Santiago
and Colon in Putumayo. Each of the device
also weighed 450 gram.
