Police: Jiangsu school attacker wanted `revenge'

A man who was detained after a knife attack on children at a kindergarten in Jiangsu Province yesterday has told police he carried out the attack in anger at a series of business and personal humiliations, police said today.

Jiang Wenxiang, chief of the Public Security Bureau in Jiangsu's Taixing City, said Xu Yuyuan, 46, told police the attack was "his revenge on society."

An initial police investigation found Xu owned eight apartments in the downtown area and was reasonably well off, contrary to reports yesterday that he was jobless.

Twenty-nine children and three adults were injured in the attack at Zhongxin Kindergarten in Taixing city.

Jiang, who is also vice mayor of Taixing, said two of the injured in the attack were still in intensive care Friday, but their conditions were stable.

The others were all out of danger.

"Most of the children received head and neck injuries," Jiang said.
