BOGOTA, July 15 (Reuters) - A man rejected by a prostitute in a Colombian brothel exploded a bomb at the establishment, killing one person and injuring 13 others, local authorities said.

The bomb was detonated late Saturday in the Balcony of Marvels brothel in the northern banana-growing town of Apartado by the would-be client who was refused service, town spokeswoman Adriana Maria Celis told local radio.

The suspect was arrested.

Three of the injured were hospitalized while the rest were treated and released. The person killed was a 54-year-old man.
