BOGOTA (Reuters) -Colombia's violence took a new turn on Tuesday as a series of bomb attacks rocked the nation's southwest, while Senator Miguel Uribe continued fighting for his life days after being shot in the head during a campaign rally.
The incidents have shaken the nation and harkened back to the decades of fear and violence residents lived under caused by armed guerrillas, paramilitary groups and drug traffickers.
