Faced with the recent attack of an IAC in Ciudad Bolivar, Bogotá, President Iván Duque spoke on the matter on Sunday through his Twitter account. The incident left a 12-year-old boy dead and a five-year-old girl suffering from brain death.
“It hurts deeply that innocents are victims of insane acts such as the terrorist attack on the CAI of Arborizadora Alta in Bogotá. My solidarity with the families of the child under 12 who unfortunately died and the 5-year-old girl, who is in a poor state of health,” President Duque wrote on his Twitter account, rejecting the events that occurred in the town.
The president also highlighted the millionaire reward that the authorities used to clarify who is responsible for the attack. “Together with MinDefensa, MinInterior and the Mayor's Office of Bogotá, we have provided a reward of up to $300 million for information that would allow these cowards to be captured and prosecuted. Colombia unites to confront and condemn terrorism,” he said.
For her part, Mayor Claudia López explained that this reward is the highest that the city has so far. The local president also rejected the facts and has accompanied the community from the local Unified Command Post (PMU).
