MEXICO CITY (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th October, 2018) Unidentified persons planted a bomb and blew up an oil pipeline in Colombia operated by Canada-based Gran Tierra Energy, local media reported on Friday.
The bomb was planted by unidentified armed men in the department of Putumayo in southern Colombia, El Espectador newspaper reported, citing a source in the country's armed forces.
The explosion occurred early on Friday. The company sent employees to the scene of the accident to repair the pipeline.
The insurgents of the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerilla group, as well as dissidents from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) refusing to accept the FARC's 2016 peace treaty with Colombian government, continue to regularly attack infrastructure facilities, despite the ongoing peace talks with the authorities of the country.
