| 2004-09-11 |
| By Chris Hogg - BBC Taiwan correspondent Friday, 10 September, 2004, 09:10 GMT 10:10 UK Three men in Taiwan have been charged in connection with the shooting of President Chen Shui-bian, according to investigators. The men were arrested following the discovery of homemade bullets similar to those used in the attack last March. A spokesman for the task force investigating the shooting said the men had been charged with weapons offences. But police could not yet prove they were involved in the attack itself, the spokesman said. Investigators believe that Taiwan's president and vice-president were shot on the eve of the presidential election with homemade bullets fired from a replica pistol, which had been altered to fire live ammunition. |
