Colombian “boy bomb” killed at police station

The 12-year-old walked up local police headquarters on  Thursday in the southern town of El Charco, near the Ecuadorean  border, carrying a package laden with explosives.

It detonated before he reached the station, local  authorities said.

“A child bomb. Terrible. Repugnant,” Antonio Navarro,  governor of Narino province, told local television. “We are  really very sad but also very angry.”
