Deadly cartels show their hand to weak-on-crime Gustavo Petro.

As we approach the May elections in Colombia, the pressure from FARC narcoterrorists is being felt with a highway massacre.

A reported bomb attack on a highway in southwestern Colombia has killed at least 19 people, with the authorities blaming a drug lord for the attack.

The massive explosion took place on the Pan-American Highway in the Cauca province.

Deutsche Welle reported:

“At least 38 people — including five children — were injured in the attack on Saturday, which comes a month before the country’s presidential election.

[…] According to local media reports, an explosive cylinder fell onto a minibus and detonated.”

Governor Octavio Guzman said the ‘tragedy’ is part of a ‘terrorist escalation’.

“Visuals shared by Guzman on X showed extensive damage to a number of vehicles. Some cars had been overturned because of the force of the blast. Another image showed a large crater etched into the highway, following the attack.

President Gustavo Petro blamed the attack on Ivan Mordisco — one of Colombia’s most wanted criminals — whom the leftist leader has compared to the late drug lord Pablo Escobar. He called those responsible ‘terrorists, fascists and drug traffickers’.”
