A bomb exploded in a hotel in the Colombian city of Cartagena, apparently killing two people and wounding a third, the police chief in the Caribbean resort said. Earlier, a bomb exploded at a Cartagena bank, injuring a passer-by, Col. Luis Herrera told reporters in Bogota by telephone. Herrera said the fatalities were believed to be doctors attending a convention at the Cartagena Hilton. There was no claim of responsibility, but authorities indicated the blasts likely were the work of drug traffickers who have declared war on the Colombian government.
