An improvised bomb has exploded in the village of Mingjing on the outskirts of Guangzhou, China, inside the village council.
Chinese police are investigating into the circumstances of the accident in the village of Minjing, where a 59-year-old local resident set off an explosion in the building of the village council. Five people were killed and an equal number injured, according to law enforcers.
On the morning of March 22, a local landowner came during a meeting of the village council members to alienate land for reconstruction. As a sign of his dissatisfaction with the decision to expropriate the land, he decided to stage an attack. He brought with him a can of petrol and an improvised explosive device. When he detonated it, he was killed.
