A Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Friday denied the report that the explosives used in London terrorist attacks early this month might come from a Chinese military plant.
It was reported that the Israeli intelligence agency had claimed that the explosives used in the London bomb attack on July 7 might come from China. Kong Quan said such a "rash guess" is "extremely irresponsible."
He said China took the assertion seriously and carried out an investigation after learning the report. But no such a military production plant or laboratory that was cited in the report had been found in Chinese military companies.
Investigators did not find the reported explosives on the list of the military gunpowder or explosives China makes or exports, Kong said.
Currently the British police are still investigating the July 7 terrorist bomb attack in London. Kong said, "It is extremely irresponsible to make such a rash guess before a clear conclusion is made."
