Saturday, 15 December, 2001, 16:57 GMT China hit by series of blasts =================== http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_1712000/1712974.s tm Bombings are on the rise in China An explosion in a crowded McDonald's restaurant in the centre of China's western city of Xian is reported to have killed one person and injured more than 20. Officials said they suspected the person killed set off the blast, according to Reuters news agency. It follows a series of explosions in the southern province of Guangdong on Friday. Those blasts killed two people and injured several others. The police are investigating whether some of the blasts were linked to a business dispute, according to local media. It is not known whether Saturday's explosion has any connection with Friday's blasts. Xian is home to a sizeable ethnic Uighur Muslim population and Uighur separatists have staged several bombings in western China in the past. Business dispute Up to 20 small explosions hit several districts of the southern port city of Zhanjiang at day-break, state media said, killing two people and injuring six others. At around the same time, blasts shook three places in the city of Jiangmen, seriously injuring a seven-year-old boy, the Beijing Youth Daily said Hong Kong media also reported explosions in the nearby cities of Maoming and Yangjiang, but police and city officials in Maoming said they had no reports of this. Officials indicated that disputes were behind both sets of blasts in Zhanjiang and Jiangmen. Bombings increasing A Zhanjiang official told Reuters news agency that "as far as we know it's revenge related to debt disputes - somebody owed money and did not pay". Bombing incidents are on the rise in China, where explosives are cheap and easy to buy. The state often blames them on disillusioned individuals. In March, blasts at a dormitory in the northern industrial city of Shijiazhuang that killed more than 100 people was blamed on a man driven by jealousy and a desire for revenge. ------------------------ Yahoo!

Mass insurrections, revolutionary warfare, guerilla detachments everywhere - such is the only way." F Engels "A revolution is not a bed of roses. A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past." Fidel Castro "There is no revolution without violence. Those who don't accept violence can cross out the word revolution from their dictionary." Malcolm X "The Marxist-Leninist doctrine on class struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat affirms the role of violence in revolution, makes a distinction between unjust, counter-revolutionary violence and just, revolutionary violence, between the violence of the exploiting classes, and that of the masses."
