The number of people killed in a bombing in a volatile region in southwest Colombia<\/a> rose to 20, officials said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The bombing is the latest attack in the region, with more than two dozen incidents reported in the past three days in southwestern Colombia. The region is home to illegal armed groups who vie for control of coca leaf cultivation areas<\/a> and for sea and river access routes to run drug trafficking operations to Central America and Europe.<\/p>\n

Gen. Hugo L\u00f3pez, commander of Colombia\u2019s Armed Forces, has described the incident as a “terrorist act.” He blamed it on the network of a man known as “Iv\u00e1n Mordisco” \u2014 one of Colombia\u2019s most wanted figures \u2014 and the Jaime Mart\u00ednez faction. Both are dissidents of the now-defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia that operate in the region.<\/p>\n
