The
blast hit a train at Taipei's Songshan station before midnight leaving some
passengers badly burned.
Police
told local media they found a broken tube with explosive material inside that
looked like a firecracker.
Premier
Lin Chuan told media it appeared "malicious" but police have not
ruled out an accident.
Police bomb squad
chief Lee Tzu-wen told local media that investigators found "a 15cm-long,
broken metal tube stuffed with explosive material inside a black backpack"
that they believe could have caused the blast.
"There was a blast and the carriage went dark.
People were panicking and screaming," one passenger is quoted as telling a
local news channel.
Other eyewitnesses cited in local media reported seeing a
man carry a rectangular object onto the train carriage shortly before the
explosion.
