A possible suicide bombing at a train station in central China killed two people Friday and injured three others, the government said. The blast occurred at 6:01 a.m. in the ticket sales hall of the railway station in the city of Zhengzhou, an industrial center, the Xinhua News Agency said. One person was killed instantly and another died later in a hospital, the agency reported. "The explosion is possibly a suicide bombing," Xinhua said, citing police. Seven people were detained and the blast was under investigation, the report said. It didn't identify the person killed or give any other details. Explosives often are used in attacks in China stemming from grudges or business disputes. Most gun ownership is illegal, but explosives are readily available for construction and mining.
