Signs indicate Lin Ying-chang, who police suspect of detonating a homemade bomb on a commuter train in Taipei on Thursday evening that injured 25 people including himself, is a total loner.

So far, the police have not been able to determine motives for causing the explosion.

Lin, 55, who was severely injured in the explosion, is recovering at an intensive care unit at hospital and expected to be able to face police questioning in a short time.

Police found that Lin, who has a criminal record that includes offenses such as theft and drunk driving, has a son from a marriage that only last for two years. Lin, who reportedly has long been receiving treatment for tonsil cancer, left home six years ago and has since estranged himself from the outside world. No one knows what happened to him before his alleged detonation of an explosive device on a commuter train on Thursday, and no one knows what made him to do so.     [FULL  STORY]
