Chinese police arrest 19 over bombing incident

Chinese police in the northern city of Shijiazhuang have arrested 17 people on charges of selling explosives to a man accused of a series of blasts which killed at least 108 people.

The Hebei Daily has been quoted as saying two other people were arrested for covering up for Jin Ruchao...the man blamed for the bombing.

Police arrested Jin a week ago for allegedly carrying out the series of well-planned explosions... one of which reduced a five-storey building to rubble.

Correspondents say scepticism has been rife that more than one person was responsible, despite Jin being the only suspect named and state media reports saying Jin confessed to carrying out the attacks by himself.
