Colombian Guerilla Bomb
Two Energy Towers
Colombia's two
electricity towers in
the municipality of
Alvarado, in central
Colombia, were dynamited
Tuesday by rebel forces,
authorities said.
The attack disrupted
electricity supply in
parts of Alvarado and
adjacent regions, said
Colonel Julio Santoyo, a
military commander.
Explosive devices were
placed in the towers by
the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC),
the largest rebel group
in Colombia, Santoyo
said.
There have been no
comments from FARC.
FARC, with 17,000-strong
members, has been
fighting government
forces since it was
founded in 1964.
The government troops
have launched several
attacks against FARC
from the beginning of
this year.
