5 more injured in car bombing

  BOGOTA - (AP) -- Three people were injured and one killed Tuesday when rebels blocked a road just north of the city, and five people were hurt when a
  car bomb exploded in a busy commercial district, police said.

  Meanwhile, a child was killed in the crossfire between right-wing paramilitary troops and rebels Monday in Medellín, authorities said Tuesday. In Cali on
  Monday night, guerrillas attacked a police station, damaging the building, officials said.

  The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, has unleashed a wave of violence since peace talks broke down in February. But on Tuesday, the
  38th anniversary of the leftist insurgency, rebels released a statement saying they would be willing to enter talks again.

  President-elect Alvaro Uribe, a hard-liner elected Sunday on promises to hammer the rebels on the battlefield in order to force them into talks, has said
  he will only negotiate if the guerrillas first agree to a cease-fire.

  The FARC statement did not mention a cease-fire.

  In the Bogotá bombing, a small car loaded with explosives blew up near the entrance to an important downtown food warehouse, police said. Five
  people were injured, police said.

  No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing.

  North of Bogotá, in the town of Villa Pinzón, rebels blocked a road leading to a popular tourist village.

  Three people were hurt and one person was killed, though it was not immediately clear how, said Col. Luis Eduardo Herrera, chief of the Cundinamarca
  state police.

  In a western neighborhood of Medellín, guerrillas and paramilitaries faced off Monday, killing a child before police arrived, Gen. Leonardo Gallego,
  commander of the city police, said Tuesday.
