Caracas, Shawwal 1, 1438, Jun 25, 2017, SPA -- Officials now say 13 people died in an explosion at an illegal coal mine in central Colombia. According to AP, authorities say rescue workers found and recovered the final two bodies early Sunday. Authorities say they believe Friday's explosion at the mine in the town of Cucunuba was triggered by an accumulation of methane gas. National Mining Agency President Silvana Habib Daza tells Caracol Radio that the mine had no operating permits and lacked adequate safety equipment. --SPA 20:24 LOCAL TIME 17:24 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w436057
