An explosion killed three children and injured 35 people in a northern Colombian town in what officials called a guerrilla attack in retaliation for the government’s decision to suspend peace talks.
Police blamed the leftist National Liberation Army, or ELN, for the predawn explosion in San Francisco, 110 miles northwest of the capital, Bogota. The blast killed two sisters, ages 7 and 8, and their cousin, a 10-year-old boy.
