Bus-Bomb Plot By Marxist 'Mad Max' Foiled Ahead Of Trump-Backed Colombian President's Inauguration
Less than a week after Colombian authorities blamed a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group for detonating a truck bomb outside police headquarters in the border city of Cúcuta, injuring 11 officers, security forces intercepted a bus carrying a massive bomb.
