At Least 17 Killed in Colombia Over Deadly Weekend
--------------------------------------------------

In Colombia, at least 17 people were killed in three separate massacres
within 24 hours, marking one of the most violent days in Colombia since
the signing of a peace deal in 2016. The attacks took place Friday and
Saturday in regions that have been heavily disputed between drug
traffickers and other criminal groups.
