Five arrested in Tiananmen Square incident, deemed a terrorist attack
Permalink  

A car crashed into Tianamen Square, killing 5 people and injuring dozens more. On impact the car exploded killing the 3 passengers in the car and killing 2 tourists. After examing the car, Chinese Police claim to have found knives and a flag that has been linked to Radical Muslim groupd. The Police are now calling it a terrorist attacked and detained 5 suspected terrorists.

Do you think this was a terrorist attack or just an accident?

i think that was a terrorist attack, a really stupid, pathetic, un-thought out terrorist attack.

This attack is likely a terrorist attack. The way it is described shows that this incident was thoughtfully planned out and not simply an accident. Hopefully those who were injured will recover soon. It's sad how terrorist groups have to claim the lives of innocent people to prove their point.

I think it was a terrorist attack, but I think their plan went wrong.

This sounds like a terrorist attack because cars don't always explode unless they crash really hard. Maybe this was a terrible accident, but why would there be flags and other "terrorist" items in the car? Maybe those people were planning something, but they crashed before they could carry out their plan.

I think it was an attempted terrorist attack that might have been set a little too early...
