At least four killed in Barranquilla for an attack on a police station
An early morning bomb attack outside a police station in Colombia's coastal city of Barranquilla killed at least five police officers and wounded 42 on Saturday, authorities said.
The four dead officers were named as Anderson Rene Cano, Freddys Echeverria, Yosimar Marquez y Freddy Lopez, while at least 17 other policemen were injured and are being treated in hospital, a police officer said at a press conference.
A police source said that 49 officers were at the site when the bomb exploded.
President Juan Manuel Santos said on Twitter that "we will not rest until we find those responsible" for the "cowardly attack".
One of the alleged attackers, a 31-year-old man, was arrested, said Attorney General Néstor Martínez.

The police station was targeted in Barranquilla, a city and municipality located in northern Colombia.
National Police director General Jorge Nieto also condemned the attack and reportedly canceled a planned visit to Medellin to lead the investigation in the port city.
"I do not have the slightest doubt that this is a retaliation" for successful police action against drug traffickers, he told reporters. "My message is that today we are more united than ever, we will never stop, we will not allow a few bandits to come and remove Barranquilla's dream", said Char. The Tiempo news portal notes that, according to one version, the explosion could have been carried out to distract the attention of the police, since at around the same time some criminals robbed a nearby cash transport vehicle.
The identities of those killed or injured in the blast remains unclear.
