Authorities in Colombia say that an explosive device on a bus has killed 13 people in the country's southwest region as violence there escalates. Octavio Guzmán, the governor of Cauca, wrote on X that the device was set off on Saturday while the bus was traveling along the Panamerican Highway in the region of Cajibio. At least 38 people were injured. Gen. Hugo López, commander of Colombia’s Armed Forces, told a news conference it was a “terrorist act” and blamed the network of a man known as “Iván Mordisco” — one of Colombia’s most wanted figures — and the Jaime Martínez faction, dissidents of the now-defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
