Car bomb wounds 11 in Cucuta six days before Colombia's presidential inauguration

A truck packed with explosives detonated next to a police station in Cucuta, Colombia, on Saturday, wounding eight police officers and three civilians. No group claimed responsibility. The ELN, FARC dissidents, and Clan del Golfo all operate near the Venezuelan border city. The attack came six days before President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella — who has pledged to shoot down drug planes — takes office August 7.
