Colombia Bomb Attack Kills 10, Injures 48
2003-09-28
A remote-controlled bomb on a motorcycle exploded as revelers left a disco in a southwestern city early Sunday, killing 10 people and wounding 48 others, army officials said. The bomb went off outside the disco around 4:00 a.m. in the upscale Zona Rosa district of nightclubs and bars in Florencia, 200 miles southwest of the capital, Bogota. A 9-year-old boy and two policemen were among the dead. Gen. Luis Alberto Ardila, the commander of the army's 2nd Division in Florencia, said he suspected the country's largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, in the blast. "We've had two attacks like this in less than a year carried out by the FARC," Ardila told Radio Caracol. "Although the explosive wasn't powerful, it caused a lot of casualties because it was placed in front of a disco which a lot of people were exiting," he said.

#4  Have you heard of some of the tricks he is doing to avoid a recall vote? At least one set of signatures was thrown out, now they are requiring fingerprints with signature and the signatures have to be collected within 4 days.

Cuz he's their favorite asshole?

Cuz he's the banker, and provides a secure transit route for Cuban weapons and explosives into Colombia. Another reason to slip him some hemlock in his hooch.
