As we approach the May elections in Colombia, the pressure from FARC narcoterrorists is being felt with a highway massacre.

A reported bomb attack on a highway in southwestern Colombia has killed at least 19 people, with the authorities blaming a drug lord for the attack.

The massive explosion took place on the Pan-American Highway in the Cauca province.

Governor Octavio Guzman said the ‘tragedy’ is part of a ‘terrorist escalation’.

“Visuals shared by Guzman on X showed extensive damage to a number of vehicles. Some cars had been overturned because of the force of the blast. Another image showed a large crater etched into the highway, following the attack.

President Gustavo Petro blamed the attack on Ivan Mordisco — one of Colombia’s most wanted criminals — whom the leftist leader has compared to the late drug lord Pablo Escobar. He called those responsible ‘terrorists, fascists and drug traffickers’.”
