Where's ColombiaReports and his newsreel in English?
A taxicab loaded with 80 k of explosives was parked downtown Cali, between Carrera 10 and Calle 10-13, inthe heart of Cali downtown exploded at 11:45 causing 4 deaths and 28 injured, ripping off the facade of the Palace of Justice and damaging lots of other buildings in the area, including the traditional Aristi Hotel. The noise was heard in several kilometers radius fromt he site. The police have initially placed the blame on the urban militias of the FARC and that the bomb was one on the series of vengeance actions announced by the Guerrilla in reaction to government troops cracking down on them and the Jaque operation thatfreed Betancourt.
Cali crew, care to expand?

bigtexas1974 says on Sep 1, 2008, 11:47: Not "supposedly"...it's fact....called Water Intoxication, also known as hyperhydration. It is a disturbance of brain functions that happens when the balance of electrolytes in the body is outside of the safe limits caused by over-consumption of water. Nearly all deaths are caused when someone consumes more than 10 liters (3 gallons) of water over the course of just a few minutes, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed.

sanandressi says on Sep 1, 2008, 12:58: Cali is not the most beautiful place in Colombia. I agree. It was the first place I visited in Colombia but I do not reccommend it to first timers to Colombia. Me thinks that Bogota and Cartagena should be the first two places to go. Nothing against Medellin or Manizales or Barranquilla or et al. Hot babes? Well, there are hot babes in Cali and not so hot babes just like anywhere else. "This train will stop in Tucumcari" 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
