Seven police dead in Colombia ambush
At least seven police officers were killed and seven wounded when gunmen from the FARC rebel group ambushed their convoy in remote northwestern Colombia, officials said.
"This is a cowardly attack that deserves condemnation by all Colombians," President Juan Manuel Santos said during a speech in which he attributed the violence to the FARC and Colombia's "Clan Usuga" criminal gang.
Colombia is the scene of a 50-year-old conflict between the government and leftist rebels that has at times also drawn in drug traffickers and right-wing paramilitary groups.
The area where the attack occurred, the northwestern region of Uraba, has been a haven for armed groups since the 1960s because of its mountainous terrain, tropical forests and remote location along the Panama border.
