CALI, Colombia —
Two men riding a motorcycle threw a bomb at a police station, wounding eight people, including seven officers, authorities said Wednesday.
The Tuesday attack damaged the Cali station, 200 miles southwest of Bogota. The eight wounded were taken to a hospital with burns, authorities said. No group claimed responsibility for the bombing.
The bomb exploded shortly after the Swedish Consulate, a church and a radio station were evacuated by students and peasant farmers who had been occupying them.
