COLOMBIA REBELS BOMB POLICE. On June 10, at least four people died in bomb attacks on police stations in Colombia. Immediately, the police and military blamed them on FARC-EMC. This group broke from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia after it signed a peace deal. The bombs detonated in cars and motorcycles parked near the police stations.
Only three days before these attacks, presidential candidate Sen. Miguel Uribe was shot. After the police shot the 14-year-old gunman in the foot, they held him as a contract-killer suspect. Upon his arrest at Uribe’s rally, he shouted, “I’m sorry, I did it for the money, for my family.”
Uribe needed immediate surgery and barely survived two shots to the head. Then on June 16 he had another surgery to stop bleeding in the brain. But we know of no connection between the conservative Uribe’s attacker and the rebels.
Several rebel groups are vying for the territory once held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces. So far peace talks with the FARC-EMC faction have failed. As long as Colombia has a power vacuum, terrorists can rush in. Pray that the fear of God will stop the terror, and He will give wisdom on how to replace it.
