Colombia boat bomb kills seven
Army experts believe the device was detonated remotely
At least seven people, including a baby, have been killed in an explosion in Colombia, according to military officials. An army spokesman said a bomb went off as about 60 people were getting off a boat on the river Ariari, in the central town of Puerto Rico, 125 miles (200 km) southeast of Bogota. He said the army believes that one of the seven who died was a woman who was carrying the explosive device in a box, but there are no indications that she was a suicide bomber. Thirty-eight other people were injured by the blast, which the army blamed on the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) - the country’s largest rebel group - who also launched a ground attack on the town as security forces moved in to evacuate the wounded.
