At least two people were killed and dozens of others injured in a bomb blast in Colombia's capital late on Tuesday, police said.

The explosion occurred around 0200 GMT outside a video store in an upscale northern Bogota neighborhood.

City police chief Rodolfo Palomino said the bomb appeared to contain about 11 pounds (5 kg) of explosives and was placed in an automatic teller booth next to the store.

The Colombian government has offered a 45,000-U.S.-dollar reward for information leading to those responsible for Tuesday's blast.

The previous attack that shook Bogota took place on Dec. 29. Police blamed the attack on leftist rebels with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
