Suicide Bombing - Fuzhou

One suicide bombing exploded on a bus in Fuzhou City, Fujian Provice, at around 2:30pm, August 8. According to official news, the explosion was caused by a 42-year old farmer who had cancer. But it is hard for police to reach such a conclusion so quickly. The news said there was one killed and dozens injured, it did not mention whether the bomber was killed.

What Witness Said

Anonymous witness said there were at least five killed, some said more than 20. Witness saw one body was removed and rescuers tried to find survivors and picked up body parts.

Police confiscated the cameras who have taken pictures.

Possible Reichstag Fire? Blame it on Taiwanese "separatists"?

Would actually be somewhat more similar to the fictional bombing of the Politburo in Clancy's "Red Storm Rising".

OMGG I am laughing at that very wrong comment

LOLOLOL!!!

[SendShaqtoIraq]

"problems aren't more widely reported."

Just remember that widely reported and wide-spread are not the same

[eamadia]

Sure, you are welcome :)

If not, he soon will be.

Fujian Province is on the Mainland facing Taiwan. It is possible that the PLA is confiscating farmland to make way for future military adventures.

That is what I was thinking, too; possible blowback resulting from eminent domain seizures? When you take away everything a man has then he has nothing to live for and thus becomes extremely dangerous.

Thanks for the ping. Here are some more details on the story.

I just read that Fujian province, which Fuzhou is the capital of, has a population of 500 million. That amazes me..

That'd be more than a third of the entire population. Seems high for Fujian alone.

The bomber had a very virulent cancer. Look how fast it spread!!!

(NO! PUT DOWN THOSE STICKS! I've not been well.) oO

[BJClinton]

China had 1130 bombings last year

Wow. Do you have a source for that?

(DON'T FIRE UNTIL YOU SEE THE WHITES OF THE CURTAINS THEY ARE WEARING ON THEIR HEADS !)

A very good friend of mine sent me a PC article that explained that the terms Towelhead, etc., were both Un-PC but also innacurate.

The headgear they wear is actually little sheets, therefore the correct description is now "little sheet heads".

Great tagline. LOL

Like every other event, this will raise oil prices.

A fly sneezed in Malaysia...oil prices go up.
A dog licked his butt in Vietnam...oil prices go up.
An ant blew chunks in Uganda...oil prices go up.

"My guess is that the farmer was not a Christian."

In China, this is not a bad bet. Can I get odds?

[Paul Ross]

Thanks for the news link!

We are getting the sense here that things are coming to a boil in China... and that the Communist Party is getting more heavy-handed than usual.

[duckman]

'..it did not mention whether the bomber was killed.'

However it was noted that the bomber looked like a dish of 'General TSO'.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL

Hence..Robert Sheets Byrd.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Indeed.

We are getting the sense here that things are coming to a boil in China... and that the Communist Party is getting more heavy-handed than usual.

 

Indeed they are tightening their grip, but at the same time the CCP is starting to make concessions to the rural farmers in regards to land reforms and land rights for the farmers which is about 90% of the problem when it comes to the rural unrest you frequently read about in the news.

But if bin Laden has been running around in the western provinces spreading his "word"???

Got popcorn?"

I doubt it. Do you remember a blip on the mainstream media about Taliban delegation going into China and meeting with PRC during the Afghan invasion? Taliban=Al Queda=Whabbi all the same thing. I won't make a tin foil hat but it does raise some interesting questions.

[fantom]

yes i think they employ the shoot e'm all . method.
