6 die in jilted lover's bomb attacks

Six people were killed and one was severely injured after a jilted lover set off explosives in the yard of his ex-girlfriend and her husband's home in east China's Anhui Province on Friday.

Zhang Jizhu was among those killed in the blasts which happened at around 3am on Friday in Suhu village in the Yongqiao District of Suzhou, a spokesman for the city's police department said.

Armed with explosives, Zhang, 36, climbed over a wall into the yard of the house of his ex-girlfriend and her husband, Su.

When a dog started barking, Su came out of the house to investigate and spotted Zhang. The two then got into a fight during which Zhang set off the bombs.

Villagers said Zhang and Su's wife had been in a relationship before she married Su in September. Zhang, Su and another villager were killed instantly while four people were seriously injured. Three of them died later in hospital, said the spokesman.

The condition of the remaining injured villager is not yet known.
