"The terrorists are looking to intimidate us as a society and attack the state,'' Mr Duque said in a televised address. "Colombia will demonstrate that it is a strong state, united and won't break in the face of the dementia of these aggressions.'' A year ago, the group claimed responsibility for the bombing of a police station in the coastal city of Barranquilla that left five officers dead. For decades, residents of Bogota lived in fear of being caught in a bombing by leftist rebels or Pablo Escobar's Medellin drug cartel.
