8 People Killed, 65 Injured in Explosion in Front of Kindergarten
Eight people were killed and 65 injured in an explosion at a kindergarten in eastern China, which police are investigating as a criminal act. Many parents were picking up their children when the blast (video 2) took place at around 5:00pm on Thursday near the entrance of the kindergarten in Xuzhou, in the coastal province of Jiangsu. The blast occurred before school had let out for the day and no students or teachers from the kindergarten were injured. Two people died at the scene and six more died of their injuries, while 59 people were injured, nine among them being treated for severe injuries. Police were investigating the explosion as a criminal act and said they had "targeted" a suspect, according to a statement issued by authorities. It was unclear if the suspect was apprehended and no potential motive was provided. A witness cited by state media said a gas cylinder at a roadside food stall had caused the blast. Kindergartens in China have been targeted before in apparent revenge attacks. Pictures circulating on Chinese social media showed about a dozen women and children lying on the ground in what appeared to be the immediate aftermath of the blast. One video showed an injured woman with scorched clothing staggering unsteadily, while others sat on a floor holding crying children in their arms. Police from Xuzhou city urged social media commentators to share only information from official channels after some users posted videos of an April explosion, saying they depicted Thursday's incident. |

Re: 8 People Killed, 65 Injured in Explosion in Front of Kindergarten
I live in China and have been following this. I was amazed at how long it took western media to pick it up (CNN was quick, next day, but in the UK it took almost 3 days...) My (chinese) girlfriend told me that the suspect of the attack was more or less a mentally deranged man who's motive isn't exactly known beyond the fact that he is mentally unstable. This is according to news articles here in China. On a random side note...apparently the fucking loon went to the same college as my girlfriend...small world, even in a country with nearly 1.4 billion people ![]() |
