Los Angeles, Jumada I 10, 1439, January 27, 2018, SPA -- At least four police officers died and 42 others were injured on Saturday when a bomb detonated at a police station in Colombia's coastal city of Barranquilla, officials said, according to dpa. The bomb was detonated remotely as the officers gathered for morning formation. "We will not rest until we find those responsible" for the "cowardly attack," said Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos on Twitter. Suspected drug dealers could be responsible for the attack, according to Barranquilla Mayor Alejandro Char. Police had cracked down on gangs in the past couple of weeks. Officials said they have one suspect in custody. At the time of the bomb attack, a truck transporting money was raided in Barranquilla. The attack on the police station could have possibly been an attempt to distract officials. --SPA 22:03 LOCAL TIME 19:03 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w597141
