Bus explosions in southwest China kill 2

2 minutes ago

Explosions on two public buses killed two people and wounded 14 others Monday in China's southwestern Yunnan province, police said.

The first explosion occurred at 7:05 a.m. on public bus 54 in downtown Kunming city and the second at 8:10 a.m. at a nearby intersection, the Yunnan Public Security Bureau said in a notice on its Web site.

The report said initial investigations determined the explosions were not accidents.

The official Xinhua News Agency said a destroyed bus was seen in front of a bus stop.

Police closed roads and set up checkpoints to prevent any suspects from escaping, the bureau said.

The explosions come just weeks before the start of the Olympic Games on Aug. 8 in Beijing. The government has boosted security around the country to try to ensure a worry-free games.

It would appear that the ROP'ers are making some statements in China.....I bet they will find the Chinese are not nearly so tolerant of their terrorist activities as the demonlibsocialists in America are.

And so begins the clamp down.  China will regress, erasing the past 10 years of economic progress.
