Goodness! I wonder who would do such a thing. Abu Sayyaf (sp)? (I mean the Filipino terrorist guys.) Weird, weird, weird. Hope he's okay.

Associated Press -

Reports: Taiwanese president reported injured while campaigning

TAIPEI, Taiwan - The Taiwanese president's motorcade made an emergency stop Friday at a hospital in southern Taiwan, and local media reported that he might have been injured by celebratory fireworks or by a possible attack.

The Presidential Office said that it did not have enough information to discuss the incident.

TVBS cable news showed the vehicle that President Chen Shui-bian was riding in parked outside a hospital in the southern city of Tainan, where Chen had been cruising the streets for votes ahead of Saturday's election.

I hope he is OK. yahoo newswires say he was shot in stomach.

I still have some campaign swag from his initial run...a tie and a keychain.

It wouldn't be hard to get a gun into Taiwan though. Death penalty if you're caught with it. but my cousin did fire guns in school in Taiwan. they were OLD japanese rifles from occupation/WWII

CNN will probably go live on CNNI in a little while. It's morning in Europe, and they need to cover the story. But until then, the US is in the dark but for the internet.

Spain had an incident right before their elections too. Is a pattern developing?
