CO soldiers responsible for bombing

Those blasts did come as a shock -- we spent "inauguration day" indoors while the city appeared to drift into a wakeful sleep. Bombs were not supposed to reach Bogota anymore. Today the local news reports CO army officers on tape paying off a former guerrilla to plant the bombs. No one was supposed to get hurt. It was a grey day, a day of expectant, guilty silence, but nothing much happened. The buzz of helicopters swooping nearby was the only sound we could hear from the balcony in a city accustomed to constant noise.
