Authorities Say Yunnan Bomb Suspect Misidentified

(Beijing) – Police investigations into the suicide bombing which killed 4 people and injured 16 in China's southwestern Yunnan Province stirred suspicion over the intrusion of local officials into findings after authorities announced the bomb suspect was misidentified.

The explosion occurred on May 10 in Yunnan Province's Qiaojia County, during a local government meeting convened to address villagers on relocation plans. Authorities now say the bomb suspect was a man named Zhao Dengyong. The announcement ran contrary to several eyewitness reports that said a local woman was the bomb suspect.
