Tax office bombed

Four dead, 19 hurt in China tax office blast: state media
Four people were killed and 19 injured Friday in a blast at a tax office in central China that police said appeared to be a deliberate attack, state media reported.

The explosion went off at about 4:15 pm on the third floor of a district tax office in Changsha, capital of Hunan province, Xinhua news agency said, quoting a police statement.

According to police, initial investigations indicated it was a planned attack, Xinhua said. The report gave no details of possible suspects or the motive for the attack.
Guns are illegal in China, though many are floating around. With all the construction in the country, dynamite is easier to obtain.
