Car Bomb Kills 1, Injures 2 in Medellin

A car bomb rocked a downtown district of Colombia’s northwest city of Medellin, killing one person and injuring two others, police said. The bomb, built with about 220 pounds of dynamite, was concealed in a taxi and detonated close to a police station, a police spokesman said. The taxi driver died in the blast, shortly before dawn Saturday, and both the injured were pedestrians. The police station was damaged. It was not immediately clear who had planted the device. Medellin, Colombia’s third largest city and an industrial hub, is a base for urban guerrilla groups and drug mobs.
