Three killed in blast at shopping mall

-

A bomb rocked one of the busiest shopping centres in Colombia’s capital Saturday, killing three people, including a 23-year-old French woman, and injuring nine others.

Police said a bomb from an undetermin­ed explosive in a women’s restroom had caused the destructio­n at the upscale Centro Andino in the heart of Bogota’s tourist district.

The National Liberation Army, the last rebel movement still active in Colombia, carried out a spate of recent attacks in Bogota, but leaders denied involvemen­t in the latest bombing.
