BOGOTA, Aug 14 (Reuters) - At least seven people were killed and more than 50 wounded when Colombian guerrillas detonated a bomb in a small town in one of the most serious recent attacks by leftist rebels, authorities said on Friday. The explosion in Ituango in Antioquia province on Thursday night has been blamed on the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC rebels, provincial governor Luis Alfredo Ramos and police said. Violence from Colombia's conflict has waned as President Alvaro Uribe has sent troops to drive the FARC back into remote mountains and jungles. Rebels suffered a string of setbacks this year but remain a potent force in some rural areas, financed in part by profits from cocaine trafficking.
