Multiple web search results report a bomb attack in southwestern Colombia resulting in numerous deaths and injuries, and multiple sources attribute the blame to dissidents of the former FARC group. One source specifies the death toll rising to 20, while others cite 14 or 19, but the core elements (bomb attack, SW Colombia, high death toll, FARC dissident blame) are consistently reported across independent web search results.

Multiple web search results corroborate that at least 38 people were injured in the attack. The claim regarding the timing ('one month before the country's presidential election') is also mentioned in the context of the attack's timing relative to elections in multiple search results.

Two out of three web search results specify the location of the explosion as the Pan-American Highway in Cajibio, Cauca province, confirming the key elements of the claim.

Two of the three web search results mention Governor Octavio Guzman describing the incident as a 'tragedy' and warning of 'terrorist escalation' or similar strong condemnation, corroborating the core sentiment and description.

Multiple web search results confirm that President Gustavo Petro blamed the attack on Ivan Mordisco, identifying him as a wanted criminal, and noting Petro's comparison of him to Pablo Escobar.

Two independent web search results confirm that Ivan Mordisco's trajectory involved being associated with or emerging from the FARC dissident groups, establishing his background within the former guerrilla structure.

Two web search results directly state that Ivan Mordisco was associated with the FARC when they signed a peace agreement in 2016, and that his actions relate to the peace process, corroborating the claim that he opted out or opposed the agreement.
