Bogota - At least four people were injured when two rockets struck a police station in the Colombian capital city of Bogota on Wednesday, local media reported.

The missiles struck the parking area in front of the building, according to national media quoting the authorities. Damage was reported on vehicles and nearby buildings in the Suba neighbourhood of Bogota.

No one has come forward claiming responsibility for the attack.

The Colombian secret service DAS meanwhile reported that it had foiled an attack by the rebels of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) against President Alvaro Uribe. Agents in the central province of Tolima had seized a taxi loaded with 120 kilos of explosive and arrested the driver.

The alleged attack against Uribe and the local governor Oscar Barreto was to have taken place during a visit by the two politicians to the Planadas area in the coming days, the DAS reported.

The attempt was to be in retaliation for military attacks against the new head of the Marxist rebel group, Alfonso Cano. Since 2002, the group has made several attempts on Uribe's life.

According to the Colombian government, FARC is in its most difficult crisis in its more than 40-year history. (dpa)
