Reuters

   BOGOTA, COLOMBIA - Three police officers were killed in a bomb blast
   late Friday at a police station in Colombia, after thousands gathered
   for renewed protests and sporadic looting erupted in the capital of
   Bogota.

   A police source told Reuters 10 officers were also injured in the
   explosion, in the town of Santander de Quilichao in the southwestern
   province of Cauca, known as a hot spot for drug trafficking and
   violence.

   The source did not attribute the bombing to a particular armed group.
   Police are expected to hold a news conference Saturday morning.
