China government office blasts in Jiangxi injure five | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Three explosions have struck government buildings in eastern China's Jiangxi province, state media say. | |
Initial reports said at least five people were injured in the blasts, in the city of Fuzhou. | |
Unconfirmed reports say car bombs were detonated outside the offices of the state prosecutor and at the city's food and drug agency; a third blast hit a district administration office. | |
Officials say the cause of the blasts is being investigated. | |
The near-simultaneous blasts went off shortly after 0900 (0100 GMT), reports say. | |
One eyewitness told Xinhua news agency that most of the windows had been blown out at the eight-storey local prosecutor's office. | |
Other eyewitnesses said ambulances had arrived at the scene to take several injured people from the local government office to hospital. | |
At least one car was destroyed and 10 others damaged in the explosions. | |
A government source quoted by Xinhua said a farmer with some kind of grievance is suspected of being behind the explosions. | |
Earlier this month, more than 40 people were injured in a petrol bomb attack on a bank, by a disgruntled former employee, in north-west Gansu province. |
