A highway bomb attack on the Pan-American Highway in Cauca department, Colombia, has killed 19 people and injured at least 38. The attack occurred when assailants blocked the road with a bus, causing an explosion that left a crater in the roadway. President Gustavo Petro blamed the bombing on Ivan Mordisco, the country's most-wanted criminal. This incident comes just a month ahead of the presidential elections, where security is a central issue.
