A European police inspector was killed last night when a bomb exploded as he was trying to remove it from middle of road in Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island.

Twnety-one other people including a police constable were injured in the blast which occurred outside a restaurant in Yee Wmo street shortly after half-past-ten.

The injured among them a number of children were taken to hospital where sixteen have been detained for treatment. These included the constable. Except for two of the civilians the condition of the others is satisfactory.

The bomb in a blue travelling bag had been placed between two tram tracks and was blocking traffic in the area. The inspector was attempting to remove it when it went off.
