GUATEMALA CITY – Police in Guatemala are blaming a bomb for a fire on a bus that killed six people.
National Police spokesman Donald Gonzalez says a woman left the bomb on the bus and detonated it by cell phone Monday. Police are scouring neighborhoods in western Guatemala City for the suspect.
A spokeswoman for Roosevelt Hospital where the injured were taken said Tuesday that the death toll stood at six. Spokeswoman Berania Lopez says a 3-year-old boy was among those in serious condition.
The attack occurred on a highway that connects downtown Guatemala City with its northwestern neighborhoods.
Gangs have demanded money from bus drivers in the past and killed drivers who refused to pay. Rights activists say 60 drivers were killed in 2010.
