Advertisements [?]

It is confirmed from BBC

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3548893.stm

Taiwan's President Chen Shui-bian has been wounded during campaigning in the south of the island.
Confusion surrounds the circumstances of the incident, but a government spokesman told BBC News Online that Mr Chen had been injured by a firecracker.

Other reports suggest that the Taiwanese president may have been shot.

Mr Chen is believed to have suffered a stomach wound and Vice-President Annette Lu has also been injured, but reports say neither is seriously hurt.

Taiwan is holding its presidential election on Saturday.
