According to peddlers and policemen on Tiananmen Square, at around 7:00am on September 26, a bomb exploded at a recently built flower altar in the front of Tiananmen Square. Although the bomb was not very powerful, the police remained very nervous. It is said that some high-ranked central government officials planned to visit Tiananmen Square that day to see the new flower altar. Liu Qi, Mayor of Beijing and Ma Zhenchuan, Director of the Public Security Bureau of Beijing both went to Tiananmen Square to personally investigate the incident. The police carefully combed through the remains of the flower altar with sticks. Many flower pots were damaged, so more pots were later delivered to Tiananmen Square in order to fix the altar.
