It's obvious this is terrorist act. Most likely linked to taliban based on the explosives used in the earlier multiple bombings. The latest that happened this morning is more of copycat attack.

Who are the terrorists and what is their motive?

Who are the terrorists and what is their motive?

Just like talibans, trying to misuse religion to say they are different race. Uighurs are chinese mixed west asians. The actual Turkish already left xinjiang and went back home long ago after weakened Ottoman empire withdrawn all forces along with actual Turkish. Turkish empire didn't even want these Uighurs back then because they are just Chinese mixed west asian.

Fresh blast rocks China, a day after letter bombs kill seven | Zee News

Beijing: Another explosion rocked south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region early Thursday, a day after a series of letter bombs exploded killing seven people and wounding 51 others.

The blast took place at 8 am local time in a house near the local highway administration bureau in Liucheng county in Liuzhou, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Casualties are not immediately known, though the explosion caused damage to a six-story building, with bricks scattered around, the report said.

Meanwhile police have arrested a suspect in yesterday's serial package bomb explosions.

The 33-year-old, surnamed Wei, is from Dapu township in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Wei hired others to help deliver the letter bombs, police said.

Liuzhou authorities have tightened supervision over delivery packages, with the local branch of state-owned mail delivery company China Post halting all its mail deliveries until Saturday.

Police warned the public not to accept materials delivered by strangers, nor should they accept parcels received via unofficial channels.

Initial investigations suggest the explosions were caused by 17 package bombs, with blasts reported in more than a dozen locations, including government offices.

The blasts apparently were triggered by devices placed inside express delivery packages, Xinhua said.

The blasts took place on the eve of China's National Day holiday.

The Ministry of Public Security sent criminal investigators to the scene and said that it was treating the series of explosions as a criminal act, not terrorism, according to the Xinhua report.

Yesterday's explosions took place in at least 13 locations in rural Liucheng, including a shopping mall, a prison, a government building in Dapu township, a supermarket, a bus station and a hospital.

While the local government said the initial investigation indicates it was a criminal case, Dai Peng, director of the Criminal Investigation College at the People's Public Security University of China, said it might be too early to make such a conclusion, state-run China Daily reported.

The blasts might have exposed "loopholes of management of the express delivery industry," Dai said.

He said the blasts might point to the need for real-name registration of both package senders and receivers.

What is the motive?

I'm still skeptical that it was all done by one guy... did this package explode before or after he was arrested?

That suspect was just 1 of the culprits probably. Motive is to ruin Chinese~Uighurs relation so that Rebiya's terrorists could persuade Uighurs to join her Taliban rebel movement. She wanted her son to be ruler of Xinjang, nothing else. She doesn't bother about the Uighurs income and development anyway. The explosives used are shaped charge IED. When detonated and it hit the supporting frame, it punched through the structure that held the building causing the building to collapse

RIP to the departed and a speedy recovery to injured.z
The damage looks far too much for a lone wolf ,must be a network.

Not really.
You need to differentiate between the Turkic people.
Uzbek+Uyghur = Karluk
Turks+Azeris+Türkmen = Oghuz
Kazakh+Kyrgiz+Tatar = Kyptcak
Chuvash= Bolghar
All these Turkic groups have their own history and context.
For example the Ottoman empire didnt have anything to do with Uyghurs/Uzbeks or Kazakhs.

Why are people asking the motive like this is something new, they have been blowing people up for over 20 years.

Previous terrorist attacks have been limited to either Xinjiang or Tibet.

Gaungxi seems completely out of the region.

Either there is new separatist group in Guangxi or the reach of ETIM has increased.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

There is no sign this is a separatist terror attack. The 33-year old suspect is from the local village.

This thread should be closed.
It's not a trolling fest for haters.

ok, closed

rest in peace to the dead. whatever the source or motive of the attack .. the culprits must be demolished
