Bombs Are Found on Colombian Campus

By MICHAEL EASTERBROOK

State security agents discovered bombs, grenades, and other weapons at Colombia's largest public university this month, a week after suspected leftist rebels launched a mortar attack from the campus.

The three mortars fired from National University, in Bogotá, on November 22 landed near the attorney general's office and the U.S. embassy, but caused no damage or injuries. Law-enforcement authorities blamed the attack on the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia
