Suspect in Guangxi parcel bomb attacks confirmed dead

 

 

The suspect in a series of deadly parcel bomb attacks in Guangxi has been confirmed dead in one of Wednesday's explosions, Xinhua reported on Friday, citing Liuzhou city police.

 

Police said Wei Yinyong, 33, made a number of time bombs, delivering them himself or sending them via couriers in Liucheng county.

 

The authorities also revised up the death toll from the blasts from seven to 10, with another 51 injured.

 

Police said Wei launched the attacks in anger over conflicts with villagers who lived near his quarry and some government departments.

I guess we have guns, and China has bombs. Sometimes the blasts in China don't even have to be intentional. Or are they? I hope we can come to solving the problem of crazies in the world.

 

And thanks for this, Randy. This did not get much press here. I guess we are focused on what happened in Oregon recently.

I don't know . It seems to be the trend for it to get worse. Most of China's serious crimes are done with butcher knives.
