Is there no end to the horrors being perpetrated by the FARC death squads ? And are there still some ignorant Irish people who harbour romanticized illusions about these war criminals ? Will they never learn ?

AP:
BOGOTA, Colombia -- A bomb strapped to a horse exploded in a plaza in a small town in northeast Colombia on Wednesday, killing at least eight people, including a toddler, and injuring 20 others, the army said.

Authorities blamed rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, for the attack. The rebels have tied bombs to animals, mainly donkeys and horses, in the past.

The residents of Chita, 150 miles northeast of Bogota, were preparing for the town's weekly market when the bomb exploded, army Sgt. Luis Hernandez said. The rebels let the horse loose in the market, which was crowded with peasant families, including many children. The target of the bomb was not clear.

The army captured a suspect who allegedly led the horse into the plaza, Hernandez said.
