BOGOTA, Colombia -- Suspected rebels threw grenades at two crowded bars in a popular Bogota nightclub district, injuring at least 42 people, authorities said.

Police blamed Colombia's largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, for the attack, which took place about 11 p.m. Saturday in the Zona Rosa district of northern Bogota and injured at least 42 people.

"It appears it was the FARC, like always," National Police Chief Gen. Jorge Castro told reporters.

About 3,500 people, mainly civilians, die each year in Colombia's war, which pits the leftist rebels against the government and right-wing paramilitary groups.

All that money down a rathole.
All those people dead.
