Today a bomb exploded near my house, killing five and injuring 25. It was against the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the US and Colombia, which comes into effect today.
I’m not going to dwell too much on this, as I don’t feel it right to bring more negativity to the situation. It was a stark reminder though that Colombia is a rising star at the moment, but there is still a simmering internal tension, which bubbles to the surface by surprise.
For this reason, I want to shout good, positive things about Colombia so please read and enjoy my latest blog on La Xarcuteria.

You are incorrect about the comment, “It was against the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the US and Colombia, which comes into effect today”.
Please get your facts straight.
It was a coincidence that it happened on the same day, the real reason was because it was an attempt on the life of former minister Fernando Londoño Hoyos. Story Here: ——> http://www.eltiempo.com/justicia/atentado-contra-fernando-londono-en-bogota_11807001-4
Hi Andy
Yes, you are right. At the time of the bomb, it was reported in the media to be linked to the FTA, which was when I wrote the post.
The correct story has now emerged and thank you for writing in with the facts. I’m posting it for everyone to see.
Besitos!
