The incident occurred in Cajibio, in the department of Cauca, while guerrilla members of the National Liberation Army (Ejército de Liberacion Nacional, ELN) were carrying out an armed strike blocking the Pan-American highway. Gomez alerted authorities about a strange object which later exploded and wounded his right leg. Muñoz’s knee was injured and he will now have to use an orthopedic apparatus.
