Electrical power to Colombia's largest port city severed by FARC militants

Colombia’s port city of Buenaventura was left without power on Sunday after FARC militants destroyed an electrical tower, reports Agence France Presse.

The Colombian government has blamed FARC for the attack, which left Colombia’s largest port and 400,000 people without power.

The attacks come after a political negotiator of the FARC militants was killed in air-raids conducting by the Colombian government.
