Suicide Bomber Blows Up Bus in China: Government Covers Up (UPDATED)
UPDATE 8/11: Jihadis from Western China released several propaganda videos. The videos proclaim jihad against Beijing, accusing the Communist government of ties to Christian forces. We will post a link to the video as soon as we find a host. Images from the video will be available shortly.
Scroll down for more updates.
Bloggers from China are reporting that a suicide bomber has blown up a bus in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, at around 2:30pm, August 8th. According to Peacehall.com, police have confiscated the cameras of those who took pictures. I first learned of this from Aaron at Hagganah Internet. more...

This is just a guess.
The Chinese might be keeping these bombings out of the news so they can respond with brute force.
I would bet there are some pretty severe consequences for the Muslims after a bombing in China. If you donÂ’t report the bombing, you donÂ’t report the reprisal by the Government. Maybe the Chinese have figured out the way to win a war with Islamic fanatics. They are smart enough to not fight it in the media.

11a,
Whoa, I didn't notice that. The graphic photos I was referring to were the ones of the bombing. Some of which are truly horrible.

There were more than a thousand reported bombings last year.
Most go unreported by the country's tightly-controlled state media. For comparison sake, for 2003 in the US, there were 386 incidents, with 7 killed, 55 injured. In 2002, the number of incidents was 711, with 13 killed, and 80 wounded. Those figures include both actual detonations and attempts for both explosions and incendiaries as well as premature explodations. For 2001, the numbers are similar to 2002.

I have seen death before, and as *horrible* as that is..never before seeing a SNAKE in a women's vagina is shocking to say the lest.
I wanted to see the original Chinese sites..and how they look more than the pictures.

The chant I have been hearing from recent visitors to China is "the islamist terrorists don't dare mess with the Chinese" - apparently supposedly because there are so many of them. Guess that was wrong.

Hey, Jawa. I came over from LGF but I'm pretty speechless after those photos. Sounds like that bomber was very down on his luck, but it wouldn't be surprising to find out he was actually an Islamic terrorist.

I'm thinking this bombing must have been in retaliation for China's invasion of Iraq. Or because of Israel? Chinese "foreign policy"? The Crusades?

I came over from LGF as well. I never thought that this kind of thing happened in China... But there are enough muslims in western china that it's not THAT surprising.
Btw, I just read the article on this url, what link should I be avoiding?!

Unless it wasn't committed by muslims:
"On Monday, August 8, 2005, at 2:32pm, there was an explosion on a bus in the city of Fuzhou. The initial story was that there was a suicide bomber who was a peasant with terminal lung cancer and he set off a homemade bomb on the bus."
Was this peasant a muslim? It doesn't say.

R.D.,
It looks like the peacehall.com link. They have some advertisors that are clearly pornographic.
Good point, Carlos.

It's well known that Jews really love Chinese food.
That's enough justification for most rag-tops to commit Chop Suey Kablooey.

I can't imagine islamist would mess with China. We've seen what they do to peaceful, pro-democracy demonstrators. Imagine the hell they'd put militant islamists through.

Fujain province is 30% Muslim and they had huge riots there about 6 months ago as the Muslims want Sharia law.
This is certainly Islamist 72-virgin job.
Shame on Islam and Muslims who support Islamic government (which is about 80% of Muslims).
Criticism of Islam should be decriminalized.

First, I thought China Daily's was a pretty good job of reporting.
Second, I haven't seen anywhere that the homicide bomber was Muslim or committed this atrocity for jihad.
Third, where did this guy get the idea for doing what he did? Well, that's pretty easy. He got it from the jihadis and their attacks against Jews in Israeli buses. Where else?
Fourth, man, looks like he cooked up a potent home brew explosive. Where did he learn how to do that?

Most likely the Chinese will buy off the splodeydopes with guns and explosives and point them our way. They're already known to be selling arms to terrorists, and this is probably just a friendly little reminder to up the shipments.

China hasa big problem in its western zone. Essentially comes down to an ethnic group called Wegurs (well- that is how it is pronounced). They are moving further towards Islam. They are looked down upon by "Chinese" and there are many problems, from ethnic cleansing, forced migration,to racism, drug trafficing, etc. An interesting and due to Chinese media controls, almost unknown group/problem.

Maybe China has a good idea. Why give the muslim bastards the publicity they are after?

You people are bunch of liars. There's no cover up. I just looked in Chinese search sites and tons of news reports show the same pictures you are claiming as "exclusive":

The report says: (in case none of you can read Chinese - it's a billion people's fault right?)
Fuzhou (not in western China, it's a nice touristy southern city.) lung cancer patient blows up bus. 1 additional death at hospital(suicide bomber dead already), 13 people leave hospital. 3 still in critical condition.

I've never claimed these were 'exclusives', in fact, I've named several sources also carrying them. As of the writing of the original post, about 35 media reports were in--over 24 hours after the incident--only one of which was from a Western source.
The cover up is in relations to the government actually admitting the extent of the damage, claiming only one death, and confiscating cameras. Apparently, they didn't confiscate enough cameras....
I admit, some of the commenters here seem not to have read the ENTIRE post......

There's no cover-up, dude. How come lots of commercial websites in China have the same pictures as the bloggers? If the Chinese government wants to block this news, do you think the commercial websites would be carrying the news? Little o'me would be able to find them on search engines like baidu, sohu, yahoo.com China?
Think about it, you people make no sense...

Bobby Fletcher: It is not necessary to be an asshole to comment on this blog. We search for info, not arguement. If you can read Chinese you could be a help to us. But, your attitude sucks.
I have no desire to learn Chinese. Not many Americans moving to China. Sort of the other way around. By any means that they can. When the Chinese all move to America they can learn English.
Of course, we now have 70 Wal-Marts in China. The beginning of the end for them. Wal-Mart destroys more competitive businesses than any country's military. Then we will make them all fat and lazy with our MacDonalds chain of health food. Why learn Chinese. The end is near for them. Big Mac and fried rice. They have no chance.

Fujian doesnt have 30% moslems. The 1982 census showed only 30.000 Hui (moslem Han) in a provincial population of - oh - 30 million.
Chinese moslems traditionally live primarily in Qinghai, Ningxia and Gansu provinces, all in the NW. There used to be concentrations in Yunnan in the SW and Shanxi and Shaanxi in the center also, but following 19th century moslem rebellions, most of those were massacred or died in following famines. There are still groups of several hundred thousand Hui in most north-central provinces as well as Yunnan, though.
In October last year, there was a riot in central Henan province between Hui and Han. Officially, 7 were killed. Unofficially, the deathtoll was over 100 (in a village of 2000), of whom 15 policemen. According to the chinese rumor-mill Hui and Han from as far afield as 80 kilometers were pouring in in trucks to join in the fighting. Han supposedly surrounded the village with bulldozers and trucks, demanding all Hui be expelled and their houses destroyed.
The incident that got it all started was a Hui man grazing a Han girl with his car, then refusing to pay immediate compensation.
Smacks of the strawberry invident that cost several hundred lives in central Asia in the late 80s.

So the Chinese have figured a way to control the muslims. We should learn from our Chinese friends.

Following the Chinese search sites I provided earlier, here are the latest updates from all over China, and they seems pretty resaonable and consistent. Again I've found no reason to doubt the reports:
- police have concluded it was a man with lung cancer that killed himself with home-made bomb
- About 31 insured: 13 release, 5 seriousely, 3 crtically. Not sure if both "additional" death are from the 3 critical (the suicide bomber is not counted here, only vicitms). One death was reported very early, so it prabably isn't part of the 31.
So there, totally of 3 people died from the blast, scores injured. IMO the hysterical reaction "only one died? god damn commies must be controlling media" is unwarrented.
If you have evidence (besides hearsay) that this news is being controlled, let's see it.

Confucius said, "A gentleman gets along with others, but does not necessarily agree with them; a base man agrees with others, but does not coexist with them harmoniously".
Muslim is the most ungrateful people existed among human as an inhumane kind on her immigrating nation benefactor. Actually they should be grateful on that foreign nation allowing them(Muslim) to stay
But instead of thanking for immigration grant, they even perversely claim territory right against that good nation.
the bad habit of major Muslim is that they have a tendency to claim a territory wherever they run or move on another nation unreasonably as well as unfairly
Turkey Dogs, no Turkey birds are not welcomed as they are not accustomed as those China's tradition
So should other nations deport those foreign Muslim out of their countries, lest they unfairly claim a territory against on the country where they immigrated,
there shouldn't be Human Right for those Muslim terrorists, but deportation to their original country. And I think it is the right thing to do against those Muslim foreigners (terrorists) without delaying in deportation that peace and harmony be continued nonstop
That last thing the world needs is more Christians and Muslims who won't think for themselves.
