TAIPEI, Taiwan — New Taipei City Mayor Eric Chu (朱立倫) Saturday objected to accusations that his deputy tried to claim responsibility for identifying the man behind Thursday’s train blast.

Chu said the accusation against his deputy Hou You-yi (侯友宜) was “meaningless” and that all Hou did was “provide the police with information.”

Hou had told media that Lin Ying-chang (林英昌), the 55-year-old man seriously injured in the train blast that occurred on Thursday night, could be a suspect in the case.

Hou said his judgment was based on the severity of Lin’s chest injury, which may have been due to extreme proximity to the blast.    [FULL  STORY]
