ANZHOU - At least 39 people were injured when a blast went off Friday morning at a rural bank in northwest China's Gansu Province, witnesses and the local government said. The provincial government said six people were seriously wounded and another 33 suffered slight injuries. They were all being treated at the county hospital. The government identified the accident as a case of "arson" in a press release issued at 11:30 am. Blast went off at the Rural Credit Cooperatives in Tianzhu Tibetan autonomous county in the city of Wuwei at around 8:30 am, when all the bank employees were having a meeting. A witness who declined to be named said someone ignited a homemade "gasoline bomb". He said he saw more than 10 people throwing themselves out of the window of the fourth-floor meeting room, while many others, with charred bodies and limbs, were carried out of the building on stretchers. Police cordoned off the street for investigation shortly after the accident. Tianzhu County is 128 km from Lanzhou, the provincial capital. A third of the county's 210,000 residents are Tibetans.

Every act of violence against the Chi-Com regime makes me happy. Tibet has suffered a real holocaust due to the chinkernese attempts to totally wipe out their culture and subjugate Tibetans.
__________________________________________________________ The street where the bank is located was sealed off for investigations on Friday and the police are interrogating a suspect, Yang Xianwen, who was arrested eight hours after allegedly "fleeing the scene". The incident took place on the fifth floor of the Rural Credit Cooperatives building in the county at 8:25 am, when all the bank's employees were holding a meeting, the local government said at a press conference on Friday afternoon. Tianzhu publicity office identified the suspect as former bank employee Yang Xianwen. Yang, 40, a Han resident and a former accountant with the bank, was sacked for embezzlement in April 2011. The publicity office said he threw a "petrol bottle" into the meeting room out of revenge. However, a witness who declined to be named, told Xinhua that someone ignited a homemade "gasoline bomb". "The fire was put out very quickly and no blast happened," an official with the local government's publicity department told China Daily.
No political motive? I'm a little disappointed, he's just another crooked banker...
