BOGOTA, Oct 18 — Four police officers in Colombia’s capital were injured Friday after protesters outside the US embassy fired arrows and explosives during a rally against President Donald Trump’s policies, officials said.
“Delinquents, some of whom were hooded, attacked the embassy with incendiary devices, explosives and arrows,” said Bogota Mayor Carlos Fernando Galan.
“Four police officers were wounded in the face, legs and arms.”
The defense ministry shared images depicting a chaotic scene outside the embassy, with one showing an officer with an arrow lodged in his arm.
The protest group, which called themselves “Congreso de los Pueblos” (People’s Congress), staged the event outside the embassy to denounce the right-wing agenda of Trump, a spokesperson for the group, Jimmy Moreno, told AFP.
“We are demonstrating for our sovereignty, no more interference from the United States, against everything the United States has been involved in the genocide of Palestinians, its interference in Latin America, and the threats it has been making in the Caribbean... against the Venezuelan Bolivar model,” Moreno said.
The group began staging protests Monday in various locations throughout Bogota, but they did not turn violent until Friday.
Colombia’s leftist President Gustavo Petro, who has found himself at odds with Trump at various points this year, said in a post on the social network X that he “ordered maximum caution with the US embassy in Bogota.”
“A more radical group has attacked the police guarding the embassy, with several young people injured with arrows,” he added.
The protest group expressed agreement with Petro in a bulletin but called on the government to build “an anti-imperialist front.” — AFP
