Monday's attack on a Chilean subway station shocked residents of Santiago -- considered by many the safest capital in Latin America -- and sparked a search for the perpetrators that has also reopened old wounds, AFP reports.
No one has claimed the attack, which injured 14 people, or a string of other small homemade bombs detonated across the South American country in recent months. And police say they have few clues.
The information vacuum has sparked much speculation on who is behind the blasts. Anarchists? Radicalized students? Ultraconservatives? The range of theories spans the political spectrum in this country still deeply divided by its 1973 military coup and 17-year dictatorship. Early investigations into Monday's attack, which targeted a food court inside the packed Escuela Militar (Military School) station at lunch hour, focus on anarchist groups with no formal organizational structure, according to district attorney Raul Guzman. But he acknowledged police had little information and said they had requested international assistance.
