| The
accident was caused by the explosives Wang Jinsheng and Wang Guohua had stored
illegally in a garage of the hospital, according to local police.
The local public security department posted a nationwide reward of 100,000
yuan (US$12,330) in an attempt to find 41-year-old Wang Jinsheng, the prime
suspect who worked with the staff hospital of the Xuangang Coal and Electricity
Company in Yuanping.
He had the key to the garage for job purposes.
He disappeared after the explosion on Monday.
Wang was in Shuozhou, north of Shanxi Province, when he gave himself up
yesterday.
It is reported that Wang used to run a coal mine. The explosives were
possibly left after the mine was closed.
