Burning buses in Bogotá

[DavidMN]

One Transmileno bus burned this morning (no injuries or deaths) and three more were found to have incendiary bombs on them.  The usual suspects...and the second time this has happened in the last month or so.  As others have mentioned, killing random commuters has got to be about the dumbest thing I've heard of to gain sympathy for the purported social cause/plight of the average citizen.

FARC didn't do that, didn't you hear?  They didn't do club El Nogal nor the Alejandría shopping center in Cúcuta either. They didn't even blow up a soft drink stand in Arauca this afternoon. Why, according to their recent press release, they detest ALL act of terrorism. In fact, they say that it is really that horible Sr. Uribe who has been doing all those bad things, just to cast suspicion on them.

(psst, hey, wanna buy a bridge in San Francisco Bay? Ol' Sureshot says he can give you a great price on it.)
