Saturday, a car bomb exploded in southwestern Colombia, according to the army, the day after Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn in as the new president of Colombia. The army stated that the attack was carried out by two dissident groups of the now-dissolved Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). These groups did not accept the peace agreement that the FARC signed ten years ago with the Colombian government. The explosion occurred at a toll booth on the Panamericana, the main road artery in the southwest of the country. The army reported that two security guards sustained minor injuries in the attack.
