A car bomb in Colombia killed at least 21 people and wounded 68 more. The explosive, detonated outside a Bogotá police academy with students from around the region, raised the specter of past violence in Colombia. It has been more than a decade since a police or military installation in the capital has suffered a major bombing. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which reminded Bogotá residents of bombings carried out by guerrillas and drug cartels in past decades.
