波哥大，哥伦比亚 —— 哥伦比亚官员表示，周二，一枚炸弹在哥伦比亚与委内瑞拉边境的一座桥梁附近爆炸，造成哥伦比亚城市库库塔至少四名警察受伤。
BOGOTA, Colombia — A bomb exploded Tuesday near a bridge that crosses Colombia's border with Venezuela, injuring at least four police officers in the Colombian city of Cucuta, officials said.
北桑坦德省省长威廉·比亚米萨尔在 X 平台上表示，警方正在调查谁应对袭击负责。
Norte de Santander provincial Gov. William Villamizar said on X that police were investigating who was responsible for the attack.
爆炸发生在弗朗西斯科·德·保拉·德·桑坦德国际大桥附近的哥伦比亚税务征收机构当地分支机构门前。事发后的录像显示，一辆卡车和数辆摩托车在爆炸中受损。
The explosion was set off in front of the local branch of Colombia's tax collection agency near the Francisco de Paula de Santander International bridge. Footage of the aftermath showed a truck and several motorcycles that were damaged by the blast.
此次袭击发生之际，哥伦比亚保守派政府正在改变国家安全战略，并对帮派和叛乱团体采取更具对抗性的做法。
The attack comes as Colombia’s conservative government changes the nation’s security strategy and takes a more confrontational approach towards gangs and rebel groups.
总统阿贝拉多·德拉埃斯皮耶拉于 8 月就职后，取消了与国内剩余叛乱团体的和平谈判，指称过去四年谈判收效甚微，武装团体利用与政府的停火协议巩固了对农村地区的控制。
After being sworn into office in August, President Abelardo de la Espriella cancelled peace talks with the nation’s remaining rebel groups, alleging that negotiations had yielded few results over the past four years, with armed groups using ceasefires with the government to strengthen their grip over rural areas.
绰号“老虎”的德拉埃斯皮耶拉还重新建立了旨在保护石油管道的联合特遣队，并承诺通过向古柯种植园喷洒除草剂来打击可卡因贸易，这一做法因健康担忧于 2015 年被叫停。
De la Espriella, who goes by the nickname of “the Tiger,” has also re-established joint task forces aimed at protecting oil pipelines, and promised to tackle the cocaine trade by spraying coca fields with herbicides, a practice that was suspended in 2015 over health concerns.
周二清晨，德拉埃斯皮耶拉在麦德林督导了一次打击帮派的行动，政府称在行动中抓获 135 名涉嫌贩毒和经营人口贩运集团的嫌疑人。德拉埃斯皮耶拉办公室周二分享的一段视频中，总统训斥了部分被警方抓获的嫌疑人。“狂欢结束了，”他对一名嫌疑人说。
Early on Tuesday morning, De La Espriella supervised an operation against gangs in Medellin, in which the government said it captured 135 people suspected of trafficking drugs and running human trafficking rings. In a video shared by De La Espriella’s office Tuesday, the president scolds some of the suspects captured by police.“The party is over,” he tells a suspect. “You will see how hard the Tiger bites.”
“你们会看到老虎咬人有多狠。”批评人士指责德拉埃斯普里耶拉利用执法行动搞宣传，并对哥伦比亚武装部队仅靠武力、最终不回归谈判桌就能解除叛乱武装的能力表示怀疑。
Critics have accused De la Espriella of using law enforcement operations for propaganda purposes, and have expressed doubts about the capacity of Colombia’s armed forces to disarm rebel groups solely through the use of force without eventually returning to negotiations.
在靠近委内瑞拉边境的库库塔，当局正在调查一名前副市长遇害案，该前副市长于周一晚间返家途中遭暗杀。9月，该边境城市的一座警察局遭袭，造成一名平民死亡、11人受伤。
In Cucuta, next to the border with Venezuela, authorities are investigating the murder of a former deputy mayor, who was assassinated on Monday night while on his way home. In September, an attack on another police station in the border city killed a civilian and injured eleven people.
据监测全球冲突的智库“武装冲突位置与事件数据项目”（ACLED）统计，在截至10月16日的四周期间内，哥伦比亚武装团体发动了34起炸弹或爆炸物袭击——较去年同期四周平均水平增长9%。
According to ACLED, a think tank that monitors conflicts around the world, armed groups waged 34 attacks with bombs or explosives in Colombia in a four week period that ended on Oct. 16 — a 9% increase from last year's four-week average.
