| A blast at an internet cafe in downtown Kaili City, located in Guizhou province, southern China, killed six people and injured 34 others Saturday night around 10:30 p.m., according to Xinhua, citing the province's public security department. Police are still trying to determine what caused the incident. I suppose it could be a natural gas leak rather than terrorism. Or it could be a government warning to internet users. Or it could just be a defective battery. But I select terrorism until proven otherwise. Pictures from the scene show the building torn to shreds, its contents largely unrecognizable and many walls ripped down. Rescue workers said the windows of nearby residential buildings were also blown out. |

| #7 Lack of safety standards plus government corruption makes China a dangerous place. Probably NOT terrorism or government sponsored covert action. |

| #4 OK - a little paranoid connect the dots here. Article listed on R'Burg a few days ago about the Chinese gov't arresting a large bunch of hackers. Complete with obligatory snarks about a government recruiting drive. Now this a few days later. Possible that some of the gov't tame hackers have been going off the reservation and gov't is cleaning up? or am I channelling Joe M? |

| #3 ..Saturday night around 10:30 p.m. Chinese solution to a problem? Thomas Friedman would probably approve. |
