More than a dozen blasts triggered by explosive devices delivered in mail packages killed at least seven people and injured more than 50 Wednesday in a small city in southern China, officials and state media said. The Ministry of Public Security said it was treating the case as a criminal act, and not terrorism. It said a 33-year-old local man, identified only by his family name of Wei, was considered a suspect, but provided no further details, including a possible motive or whether the man had been detained. Local media reported that the suspect had been apprehended. A local Communist Party newspaper, the Guangxi Daily, cited police as saying there were 17 explosions in Liucheng, leaving seven people dead, two missing and 51 injured.

Is this people within pushing back on the Communists or Muslims getting involved in Syria? Could also be false flags by the gov.

We are living in interesting times.

> two missing

That would need to be quite a bomb to make a person go “missing.”

Some of these bombs collapsed buildings - they were a hell of a lot stronger than what one things of postal “package bombs.”

That kind of power, and coordination of so many at once - means a large group of people were involved.

This kind of stuff is impossible to tell. There are so many local issues that, without understanding the local culture, it could be anything.

They’re just beginning a lengthy national holiday over there, Oct. 1 through Oct. 7, wonder if there’s any connection in the timing.

I guess this means Obama will be flying to China to propose an EO to strengthen Bomb Control.

He will be meeting with the Families of the Victims.
