Colombian guerrilla fighters on Monday killed two police officers and two other people in separate gun and bomb attacks that injured at least seven in the country's restive southwest, officials said.

Defense Minister Ivan Velasquez pinned an attack in the town of Morales, in the Cauca department, on Central General Staff (EMC) rebels who had rejected a peace deal the FARC Marxist guerrilla group signed with the government in 2016.
