Colombia Car Bomb Hits One Day After New President Sworn In
A tollbooth blast on the Popay 1n-Cali highway gave Colombia's new hardline president a security crisis within 24 hours — but incident counts and blame remain disputed.
Wat we eerst wisten
- Blast on Aug 8 damaged Mondomo toll plaza in Santander de Quilichao on Popay1n-Cali highway.
- Army alleged two FARC dissident groups that rejected 2016 deal were responsible.
- AFP-sourced outlets reported two attacks with one officer dead and others wounded, differing from AP.
Toen nog open
- No independent confirmation of perpetrators, and no reconciled casualty total in supplied material.

Waar we op zouden letten
- Whether attribution is confirmed and sustained highway security measures follow.
- Whether incident and casualty counts converge as more independent reporting emerges.
