Chinese police have appealed to the public for clues about a
shopping center explosion that injured two people Monday in Hefei, capital of
the eastern Anhui Province.
Preliminary investigation suggested the explosion was
"deliberately caused", said a spokesman with the local police at a press
briefing late on Monday.
The police had offered a 50,000 yuan (US$6,024) reward for information
leading to the suspect, spokesman Fu Qiang told journalists.
Fu said the explosion occurred at 5:54 p.m. in a man's washroom on the second
floor of the Gulou (Drum Tower) Business Plaza in Suzhou Road and left two
people slightly injured.
Police blockaded the site shortly after the incident and the injured were
hospitalized, he said.
Gulou Business Plaza is one of the biggest shopping centers in downtown
Hefei.
