A car bomb blast inside an army base in the Colombian city of Cucuta wounded 36 people Tuesday, officials said, blaming the attack to ELN guerillas. The initial theory is that members of the National Liberation Army (ELN), the country's last recognized guerrilla group, were behind the attack, Defense minister Diego Molano said, as he condemned the ‘terrorist act.’ Involvement of FARC guerrillas that refused to sign a 2016 peace agreement with the government is also ‘a matter of investigation,’ the minister added. Unknown people posing as public officials drove into the base on board a white Toyota van Tuesday afternoon, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
