Colombia shaken as car bombing tests new hardline presidency

Days after hardline President Abelardo de la Espriella’s inauguration, a car bomb exploded at a toll plaza on the Pan-American Highway in Cauca, injuring two guards. Authorities say two armed groups splintered from FARC carried out the attack and vow a stern crackdown, signaling a shift away from the former administration’s 'Total Peace' approach. The move comes as the US pledges about $1 billion in security aid to support Colombia’s security push.
