A car bomb exploded at a heavily guarded police academy in Colombia’s capital on Jan. 17, killing 10 people and injuring dozens in an attack that recalled the bloodiest chapters of the country’s drug-fueled guerrilla conflict.

The scene outside the General Santander police academy in southern Bogota was chaotic in the aftermath of the mid-morning attack, the biggest against a police or military facility in Bogota in years.
