Santiago de Chile, September 9 (RHC) -- Monday's bombing at a Santiago metro station that left at least ten people wounded was a terrorist attack, according to the Chilean government.
The explosion, which took place at a fast-food restaurant inside the Military School metro station, wounded ten people ranging in age from 20 to 65. Two people were badly injured, according to paramedics.
The police bomb squad rushed to the scene to carry out investigations into the composition and characteristics of the explosive device.
The attack “deserves a strong response,” Interior Minister Rodrigo Peñai-lillo said, adding that “the government is coordinating all the necessary actions to discover the intellectual and material authors of this crime and bring them to justice.”
At least 28 bombs have been found across Santiago so far this year — most planted late at night — although some have not exploded and none of the others caused any injuries. In many cases, anarchist groups have claimed responsibility, demanding freedom for two anarchists imprisoned in Spain. No one has claimed responsibility for Monday's attack./Source: Mercopress
