The timing turns [music]0:10a blast on a well-known transit corridor0:12into an immediate test for a0:13conservative political neophyte at the0:15start of his administration. The0:16explosion came less than 24 hours after0:18the inauguration, and it struck [music]0:20the Pan-American Highway corridor in the0:22southwest, a route hit repeatedly0:24before. Blame [music] for the attack is0:25being placed on two dissident groups of0:27the now-defunct Revolutionary Armed0:29Forces of Colombia, the FARC, an0:31allegation that remains unconfirmed.0:33That corridor history matters because0:35[music] this was not an isolated strike.0:37Months earlier, a bomb along the same0:39route in the department of Cauca killed0:41[music] 21 farmers, marking recurring0:43corridor violence rather than a one-off0:45incident. The human cost was immediate.0:47[music]0:48One person caught in the blast described0:49being lifted out of bed by the force,0:51then [music] scrambling to find water0:53and shouting for help. What is0:54established so far comes from a single0:57report built [music] around the official0:58allegation and eyewitness testimony1:00without broader independent confirmation1:02yet. The most consequential unresolved1:04questions now are whether the new1:06Espriella administration [music]1:07will impose sustained security measures1:09on the Pan-American Highway, and whether1:10the allegation against the two [music]1:12FARC dissident groups is confirmed1:13before the corridor is struck again.Читати статтюХронологія історіїHeyDexКоротке відео ↗
