The incident took place last Saturday at the CAI of Arborizadora Alta, in the town of Ciudad Bolívar (race 42 with 73 south street), leaving 35 people injured and a 12-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl died.
The Homi Foundation noted “that on March 26 at 11:04pm, a 5-year-old girl was admitted in a delicate state of health, with severe head trauma, following an explosive attack against CAI in Arborizadora Alta.
On Sunday the doctors gave a forecast of the little girl, stating that “the minor is in the Intensive Care Unit. A multidisciplinary team from HOMI deals with the case and carries out the corresponding medical procedures. For the privacy of the girl and her family, the diagnosis is reserved.”
For its part, the mayor's office of Bogotá confirmed Salome's death and added that “with pain we must report that 5-year-old Ivanna Salome Rangel Molina died this morning. Since Saturday, when he was in a very serious condition with brain death, we have accompanied his parents in this painful moment.
The mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López, the Minister of Defense, Diego Molano and the Minister of the Interior Daniel Palacios, announced a reward of up to 300 million pesos for information that would allow us to find out the whereabouts of the perpetrators of the attack.
Given what is known about the perpetrators of this attack, López assured that the police have no proof or confirmation of those responsible for the explosive device in Arborizadora Alta or the one that occurred in Sierra Morena. What they do know is that the modus operandi was the same and he stressed that “We offer a reward of up to $300 million to find those responsible.”
Likewise, a video of a security camera is circulating on social networks showing the exact moment at which the events occurred. Thus, it was possible to establish that at 7:16 at night the flash of light was seen from a far corner of the police post.
This is a fact that has shocked the country, and hours after learning what happened, President Iván Duque visited the place and said, “Together with the Ministry of Defense and the National Police, we visited the CAI of Arborizadora Alta in Bogotá, after today's cowardly attack with explosives, to coordinate the investigations and find those responsible. Colombia as a whole rejects terrorist acts against our public forces and the community.”
