A fresh explosion has targeted another residential building in
southern Chinese town of Liucheng after more than a dozen parcel bomb
attacks hit the same district.
The series of attacks on hospitals, banks and other sites in Guangxi
region that killed at least seven people and wounded more than 50 others
were part of a “revenge” campaign, according to the Chinese police that
ruled out a “terrorist act”. A 33-year-old local suspect had been
arrested, authorities said, providing no immediate explanation regarding
a possible motive.
Thursday’s blast in the six-storey building, near a local highway
administrative bureau in Liucheng, caused “some damage”, according to
local media reports. The official Xinhua news agency said the attack
left “bricks scattered around”.
There were no injuries immediately reported, according to China
National Radio’s blog site CRI. The radio station quoted a local
resident who said he was shaken awake by the blast and “thought there
was an earthquake”.
