Series of attacks leave at least seven dead in Colombia

In Colombia, a coordinated series of bombings and shootings targeting police stations and roads in the southwest of the country left at least seven people dead and dozens injured on Tuesday morning.

More than 20 "terrorist attacks" were reported throughout the day, with assailants detonating bombs using cars and motorcycles, while opening fire on police stations in the city of Cali and Cali and nearby towns.

Police and military officials have blamed a guerrilla faction of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.

President Gustavo Petro said Tuesday's attacks will be investigated for potential connections with a recent attack on a presidential candidate, who remains in intensive care after being shot in the head.
