Colonel Diego Fernando Vásquez, commander of the Police in Neiva, pointed out that “after closing the affected area we managed to control the situation”.
He added that the explosives lacked electrical systems, which presumes that they would be activated manually.
Colonel Juan Pablo Bahamón, commander of the Tenerife Battalion, assured that in the midst of the operation it is important “to encourage the participation of the community, since thanks to their information we were able to locate the explosives and control this situation.”
For now, the authorities have no clues about the groups that would be behind these events when there are only a few days left for the elections to be held on March 13.
