Colombia truck bomb wounds 14 ahead of presidential inauguration

A truck bomb explosion in the northern Colombian city of Cucuta wounded 14 people just days ahead of the presidential inauguration. The early-morning blast caused widespread concern and immediate security implications for the incoming administration.

The government in Bogota has officially blamed rebels from the National Liberation Army (ELN), identifying them as the perpetrators behind the attack. The ELN is recognized as the country's largest active guerrilla group, carrying out operations that persistently challenge national security efforts.
