THE son of a man who placed bombs at three government buildings in an east China city is being questioned by police.
Qian Hanxi, the second son of Qian Mingqi, who died in one of the explosions in Jiangxi Province's Fuzhou City, had been taken away by police and had not yet returned home, yesterday's Oriental Morning Post reported.
Two other people, who got to know the bomber during his visits to Beijing to petition the authorities, had also been taken away by police.
Qian placed the bombs in car parks at government buildings last Thursday, killing himself and two other people and injuring at least 10 others when the bombs went off with a half-hour period.
Local government officials described the incident as a revenge attack and said the other victims were security guards.
Qian was said to have been involved in a dispute over the demolition of his home. Messages on microblogging sites under his name described a frustrating and fruitless 10-year effort to obtain compensation after being forced to leave his home to make way for a highway.
In a visit to his home over the weekend, reporters found police officers collecting evidence. A photograph in Qian's room showed him in Beijing. Written on it in Chinese characters was "unforgettable petition journey," the Shanghai newspaper reported.
Qian had bought many books about land/house demolition compensation and had gone online to publicize his experiences, it said.
In his petition to authorities in Beijing and his online posts, Qian said Xi Dongsen, head of the Linchuan District government in Fuzhou where he lived, had illegally lowered the compensation standards during the highway project in 2002.
Qian claimed that about 10 million yuan in compensation and rewards had gone into Xi and others' pockets while he had lost more than 2 million yuan.
"Going to heaven, I would have to take a few enemies with me," Qian wrote in one of his entries. He said he had been petitioning authorities on the demolition since 2002.
Online posts over the weekend claimed Xi had been suspended and was under investigation. These were dismissed as rumors by the Linchuan government.
Linchuan spokesman Yu Kai said Xi "was still participating in government meetings and holding the job." Yu said the authorities were still investigating the explosions.
Qian had two sons and one daughter and his wife died some years ago.
Neighbors told the newspaper that Qian had been involved in the running of small restaurants, truck transport and the funeral business.
