A bomb in Beijing
THE simple facts are that 30 people were injured when a crudely fashioned bomb exploded on March 7th during the evening rush hour in a bus in the Xidan district of central Beijing. Two of the injured are believed to have died, but this has been denied by the Chinese authorities. Tight security has been imposed in the Beijing hospital where the victims were taken.
