Two men, aged 33 and 34 years old have been apprehended on suspicion of producing and possessing bombs, Hong Kong police said on Tuesday
They were caught in Wong Chuk Hang on Sunday after officers discovered homemade burning pieces of equipment and chemicals in their possession.
Police thought that the site was used to conduct bomb tests. It was added that 30 kilograms of chemicals and raw materials were also found at the suspects' homes.
According to the Chief Inspector, Wong Chi-yu, the investigation so far revealed that the suspects had no particular targets to attack.
But believed the suspects had an anti-government stance, adding that the raw materials they believed to possess were readily available in the market and could be processed to make bombs.
The Inspector said in the press interview "There is a chance that what was seized can be used to produce the so-called TATP or dynamites of the ammonium nitrate type. It is possible the raw materials can be turned into these two types of dynamites,” the inspector told a press briefing.
香港警方逮捕兩名涉嫌製造家居炸彈的男子
香港警方週二表示，兩名分別為 33 歲和 34 歲的男子因涉嫌製造和持有炸彈而被捕
週日，警方在黃竹坑發現他們擁有自製燃燒設備和化學物質後，將他們逮捕。
警方認為該地點是用來進行炸彈試驗的。
據稱，在嫌疑人家中還發現了30公斤化學品和原料。
總督察黃志如表示，截至目前調查顯示，嫌犯並無特定攻擊目標。
