Bomb detonates ahead of bullfight in Colombia, dozens injured

A homemade bomb exploded near Bogota's bullring on Sunday, injuring two dozen police officers and two civilians, Colombian authorities said. The explosive device, which shattered windows in nearby apartment buildings, appeared to have been left in a sewer outside a new youth hostel popular with foreign backpackers. It was detonated just a few hours before a scheduled bullfight as police in riot gear were gathering ahead of a demonstration by animal rights activists. Authorities did not give a motive for the blast and said they had no evidence it had anything to do with the resumption of bullfighting at the ring.
