Unexploded IED Found at Shenzhen Border; Suspect Demands Border Closure
Hong Kong has seen 3 bomb cases over 2 consecutive days. An improvised explosive device (IED) was found in a rubbish bin at the Shenzhen Bay Control Point on Tuesday morning. 2 other incidents involving suspected IEDs and explosives happened, prior to this discovery: The first incident was the discovery of an IED at a public toilet in King George V Memorial Park in Jordan. The second incident was a men's toilet cubicle being set ablaze at Caritas Medical Centre, Cheung Sha Wan. It was suspected to be caused by a home-made bomb.
A message on Telegram claimed responsibility, demanding the immediate closure of the city’s borders to the Mainland, in order to prevent the coronavirus outbreak from worsening in the city. The message also issued a warning, threatening to blowing up major transportation networks between the Mainland and Hong Kong if the demands are not met. The 3 cases are currently being followed up by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.
