At least 39 people were injured when a blast went off this morning at a rural bank in northwest China's Gansu Province, witnesses said.
The provincial government said six people were seriously wounded and another 33 slightly injured. They were all being treated at the county hospital.
Authorities identified the accident as a case of "arson" in a press release issued at 11:30am.
Blast went off at the Rural Credit Cooperatives in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County in the city of Wuwei at around 8:30 am when all the bank employees were having a meeting.
A witness who declined to be named said someone ignited a homemade "gasoline bomb" and he saw more than 10 people jumped out of the windows of the fourth-floor meeting room and many others, with charred bodies and limbs, were carried out of the building on stretchers.
Police cordoned off the street for investigation shortly after the incident.
Tianzhu County is 128km from Lanzhou, the provincial capital. A third of the county's 210,000 residents are Tibetans.
