Bomb caused fatal explosion in Jiangsu

A homemade bomb was the cause of an explosion in Fengxian county, Jiangsu province, on Thursday that left eight people dead and 65 injured, including the suspect, who died at the scene, according to the provincial public security department.

Police found materials used to make explosives at the rented home of the 22-year-old suspect. The man, surnamed Xu, wrote "die", "extinct" and "kill" on the walls.

Officials said Xu, a local resident, left school due to a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which controls breathing, digestion and other functions. The illness can cause symptoms like panic and depression. He worked near the location of the blast, which was at a kindergarten's gate, police said.
