BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- Colombian officials now say six people are dead and 20 wounded in an attack with homemade mortars on a police station in a western town.
Thursday's attack on the police post in Villa Rica comes a day after a bomb planted in a tricycle outside a police station in the Pacific port of Tumaco killed nine people and injured another 76.
Cauca state police chief Col. Ricardo Alarcon tells The Associated Press that the dead Thursday include the Villa Rica police commander and five civilians.
Alarcon says it is premature to assign blame for the attack.
Colombia's defense minister says leftist rebels in league with a drug-trafficking gang were behind the Tumaco attack.
