Regional police chief Col. Nelson Ramirez says the two men were suspected members of a drug-trafficking band allied with leftist rebels and it appears the bomb detonated prematurely.
Authorities said two children were badly wounded and were rushed to the regional capital of Cali for treatment.
Ramirez speculated that the bomb’s intended target was Pradera’s police station.
