BOGOTA, Colombia — A car packed with at least 110 pounds of explosives blew up in an office district of Colombia’s capital Thursday, shattering windows in dozens of buildings and injuring nine people, police said. No deaths were reported.

It was the first car bombing in Bogota in a year and a half, and came five days after Juan Manuel Santos was sworn in as president.

The blast occurred at 5:30 a.m. outside a 12-story building housing Caracol Radio, the Spanish news agency EFE and the Ecuadorean consulate, as well as the offices of several banks and politicians, including former President Cesar Gaviria.
