台北の通勤電車における爆発事件で、既に容疑者が特定されたようだ;


After an initial investigation, the police yesterday identified Lin Ying-chang (林英昌) ― one of six people who were seriously injured ― as the probable suspect.

Lin Ying-chang, a 55-year-old resident of New Taipei City with prior convictions for minor crimes, is in intensive care and is unable to speak for the time being, the police said, adding that further investigation is needed to identify a motive.

After speaking with several witnesses to the explosion and collecting and analyzing the evidence on the scene, police said Lin Ying-chang, who was divorced and worked as a house painter and did various manual odd jobs, was believed to be holding the bomb when it went off.

The explosive device, which was a 47cm-long pipe bomb, was broken in two by the explosion, with one part found on the train by investigators, and the other found later on the tracks, a senior CIB forensics official told a news conference at 6pm.
