Bomb attacks target two national palaces in Colombia and Peru
In Bogota and Lima, bombs struck the presidential palaces amid a surge of terrorism in Colombia and Peru. In Colombia a car bomb wounded guards and bystanders as the 19th of April Movement claimed responsibility to disrupt upcoming elections. In Peru five sticks of dynamite were hurled onto the palace roof with police reporting no injuries among the president and his wife. A hotel siege led to six arrests including a 23-year-old Austrian. A power line blast caused a partial Lima blackout.
