#Atención Cerrada vía Pamplona – Cúcuta (Sector Las Marias) por presencia de artefactos extraños. Roads were closed throughout Colombia due to suspicious packages that were feared to be guerrilla explosives. Local media reported bomb attacks in Cucuta on the border with Venezuela, on the Pan-American Highway in southwestern Colombia and on the highway that connects the capital Bogota to the Caribbean coast. The economic shutdown began on Wednesday morning and will last until Saturday morning. The guerrillas ordered businesses to close their doors and transport companies to keep their vehicles off the streets as part of an armed strike. Commercial activity and public transport came to a halt in parts of Colombia that are effectively controlled by the ELN.
