Eight police officers were killed in an explosives attack in western Colombia, President Petro says, the deadliest attack on security forces since he took office
Colombia's conflict between the government, leftist guerrillas, right-wing paramilitaries and drug trafficking gangs killed at least 450,000 people between 1985 and 2018 alone. "I strongly reject the attack with explosives where eight police died," said President Gustavo Petro onThe attack took place in a rural area in the Huila department.
Dissident groups reject the peace accord negotiated by their former leadership and count some 2,400 fighters in their ranks, according to the government. It is the most serious attack on public security forces since former guerrilla Petro assumed power in early August, becoming Colombia's first leftist president.
