So far there have been no reports of fatalities but some of the injured are in critical condition. The bomb exploded shortly before 2000 local time (0100 GMT) in El Tesoro shopping centre, one of the most modern and upmarket in Colombia's second largest city. The bomb exploded in the basement portion of the car park collapsing the structure. No group has claimed responsibility for the blast. The wounded were being taken to a nearby hospital while emergency services tried to douse the flames. Leftist rebels and a right-wing paramilitary group are battling for control of the Colombian countryside in a worsening 36-year civil war that has left tens of thousands dead. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) " At my hospital six people arrived all adults and one is seriously wounded but out of danger. Q: Do you know how many are wounded total? According to the police, there are at least 40 wounded." SUPERCAPTION: Doctor No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast. The car-bombing recalled the days when the Medellin Cartel, a drug-trafficking gang, waged a terror campaign in the 1980s and early 1990s to fight extraditions to the United States. The Medellin Cartel was wiped out by police action, with its top leader Pablo Escobar dying in a police shootout in 1993. Colombian President Andres Pastrana has visited Medellin, the site of Wednesday night's car bomb that killed three people and injured 50 others. SHOTLIST: Medellin, Colombia - January 10, 2001 1.
