That's his M.O.
Not to bright are you? Bombing of civilians is a terrorist act. Just because it doesn't fit in with your preconceived Fox News version of a muslim terrorist bombing doesn't mean its not happening:
Colombia: Bombing Campaign Targets Civilians
(New York, December 17, 2002) The recent spate of bombings in Colombian cities has caused dozens of civilian casualties and is being used to spread terror, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch called on the forces planting these explosives to stop this reprehensible campaign, which constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law and is clearly meant to threaten and intimidate Colombia's democratically-elected congress at a time when they are making decisions critical to the country's future.
"What violent groups cannot accomplish through argument and debate they are attempting to achieve through terror. We stand with Colombians who are attempting to work out their differences with respect for the law, not by maiming the innocent."
"What violent groups cannot accomplish through argument and debate they are attempting to achieve through terror," said José Miguel Vivanco, executive director of the Americas Division of Human Rights Watch. "We stand with Colombians who are attempting to work out their differences with respect for the law, not by maiming the innocent."
On December 13, a book bomb disguised as a gift was sent to Senator Germán Vargas Lleras at his congressional office in Bogotá, and the explosion injured his face and hands. Later that day, a suitcase bomb was detonated nearby, in a restaurant at the Resedencias Tequendama, a hotel where many congressional representative reside during the legislative session. At least 23 were injured. The next day, another bomb was detonated in a store in residential area north of the downtown.
Earlier in the week, government authorities also reported deactivating five separate remote-controlled car bombs packed with at least 550 pounds of explosives, ready to be deployed. In the past, both guerrillas and paramilitaries have used bombs to spread terror. Therefore, it is critical that the government dedicate the necessary resources to fully investigate these crimes and bring to justice those responsible
