AT least seven people have been killed and 50 injured after a car bomb exploded in the north-eastern Colombian city of Cucuta.

The bomb was believed to have been planted by National Liberation Army guerrillas, officials said.

The governor of Norte de Santander province, Juan Santaella, called the attack "a real tragedy" for the city, which is near the border with Venezuela.

The car bomb exploded in the parking garage of a shopping centre.

Another explosion today killed one soldier and injured three others in the outskirts of Carmen de Bolivar, some 950km north of Bogota, according to military sources.

Officials suspected Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebels of carrying out that attack.

How very sad.

Look for more of the Colombian Bourgeoisie to decamp to their second homes in Key Biscayne and Weston (that's South Florida for all you folks in Yorba Linda).

And our War On Some Drugs puts money in their pockets.

It must be hell living like this.

A Columbian student of mine - ten years in the military down there - told us last night that the only solution is to just drop a big bomb on all of them. Short of that - Americans should stop smoking dope which by doing feeds the Communists!

Americans should stop smoking dope which by doing feeds the Communists!

Americans should remove the exorbitant profits from drugs by legalizing them.

By the way, Colombia produces coca, used to make cocaine, which is not smoked.
