Bogota: A Colombian governor claimed on Tuesday he had survived two armed attacks in the space of 24 hours in a region rife with dissident left-wing guerrillas.

The first attack happened on Sunday when “the vehicle I was traveling in was hit by a sniper,” Juan Guillermo Zuluaga, governor of the central Meta department, told W Radio.

On Monday afternoon “an explosive device” was detonated as a caravan of vehicles Zuluaga was traveling in passed by.
