The death toll of Saturday's FARC bomb attack on several towns in the southwest of Colombia was raised to six, local media reported Sunday. Some 70 civilians were injured in the attack.

According to Caracol Radio, the bomb, hidden in a traditional Chiva bus, nearly wiped the village Toribio with 3,500 inhabitants off the map. The town looks inhabited by zombies as the terrified locals wade through the remains of their town in shock.

The attack let the town without running water, electricity and gas.

According to mayor Carlos Banguera it will be difficult to reconstruct the houses destroyed by the bomb that was set off on the local market square because of the almost complete destruction of the town center.
