Divisions erupt as Colombia rebels criticize their own

In the latest sign of division amongst Colombia's FARC rebels as peace talks continue, the group's leadership made a rare condemnation of an attack by some of its own guerrillas.

The group's central command, in a stern message on its website, "repudiated and condemned" some fighters from within its own ranks following a car bomb attack last week.

A civilian died and more than 20 people were injured when the bomb was detonated in front of a police station in Pradera, a town in the western Valle de Cauca region.

"Those responsible never intended to cause injury to the non-combatant civilian population," the FARC secretariat said, condemning the "lack of foresight" shown in the attack.
