Police in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak have ruled out the possibility that terrorists were involved in a blast that killed three officers at their headquarters on Monday night.

A press conference was organized by the provincial People’s Committee and the Department of Police on Tuesday morning to provide details about the explosion.

During the meeting, Senior Lieutenant Colonel Bui Ngoc Tuan, chief of staff at the Dak Lak police department, affirmed that the explosion was an accident, which was not caused by terrorists or other opposing forces.

Three officers were killed while three others injured in the blast, which occurred in the exhibit storage room of the provincial police headquarters, Tuan stated, adding that several nearby houses were also damaged.

The three deceased victims were Phan The Trung, 30, officer of the criminal division, Ngo Quang Cuong, 32, and Y Quyet Bkrong, 29, both environmental police officers.

According to Bui Hong Quy, chief of the office of the Dak Lak administration, BKrong is the son of Nie Thuat, former member of the Central Party Committee and secretary of the provincial Party Committee.

The explosion happened at around 9:00 pm on Monday as some witnesses stated they heard a loud noise before seeing fire and rescue vehicles rushing to the police department.

The victims were later brought to the Dak Lak General Hospital for emergency treatment, while competent agencies were investigating the scene to determine the cause of the blast.

Whether or not the explosion damaged the exhibits and would affect the investigations of relevant cases was still unclear as focus has been directed to saving the victims and probing the scene, Nguyen Tuan Ha, vice-chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, said.

He also refused to answer what the officers were doing prior to the accident.

The prime minister has requested local authorities to exert all efforts to figure out the reason behind the explosion and properly deal with its consequences.

Ho Chi Minh City launches first surveillance camera control center

UPDATED : 12/12/2016 14:22 GMT + 7



District 5 has become Ho Chi Minh City’s first administrative unit to have a control center where all security camera videos in the area are gathered and analyzed.

The center, located inside the headquarters of District 5 Police, currently operates a network of 240 cameras installed across the district’s 15 wards.

Footage from the cameras is displayed simultaneously on 20 monitors at the center, which is also equipped with digital maps and a face-recognition system to quickly identify suspects.

A program installed on the center’s computers can also give out warnings of those trespassing on residential areas and public buildings, or any suspicious gathering of large groups at night.

Upon receiving an alert call or warning from the system, officers on duty will be able to view close-up footage of the location and dispatch staff to respond in a timely manner, according to Col. Nguyen Huu Dien, deputy chief of District 5 Police.

Dien added that the system would be upgraded to receive images from 1,000 cameras in 2017 and up to 3,000 cameras in 2018.

The center will be on a pilot run for a year before further decisions are made on whether to open similar centers across other districts.

El Nino hits Vietnam's coffee output; exports run out of steam

By VnExpress December 12, 2016 | 03:08 pm GMT+7

Aging crops, flooding and drought: not the ideal blend for the world’s second largest coffee exporter.

Vietnam’s coffee exports are likely to be hit this year due to changes in the weather, with output forecast to fall by 20 percent.

Vietnam’s Association of Coffee and Cacao (Vicofa) said that coffee output will hit 1.3 million tons for the 2016-2017 season (from the start of October 2015 till the end of September 2016) following the worst El Nino in the last 20 years.

October is traditionally the start of the coffee harvest, but this year many plantations in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak, one of the biggest producers in the country, are still in blossom due to the lack of water.

According to incomplete statistics from Vicofa, 115,000 hectares (284,000 acres) of coffee, equivalent to nearly a fifth of Vietnam’s total plantations, have been damaged by water shortages.

Rain and flooding that hit the Central Highlands in November also made it difficult to harvest and dry the beans.

Apart from the weather, farmers have also been cutting down their coffee plants to make room for other industrial crops, and a large area of coffee is entering an "aging" period with reduced output.

To increase the value of coffee exports, Vicofa has called on businesses to step into the processing industry rather than focusing on exporting raw materials.

The association has set a target of increasing the proportion of processed coffee exports to 30 percent of the total by 2020 from the current rate of 10 percent.

Data from Vicofa revealed that Vietnam’s coffee exports jumped by 34.8 percent on-year to 1.75 million tons during the 2015-2016 season.

Export value also surged by 17.2 percent to reach $3.16 billion.

However, this growth has been attributed to a large inventory of around 300,000 tons carried over from the previous season.

Dun think they can even fit a bed into that cubicle, normally they just use a mattress then prop it upright during the day so that it doesn't block the whole room, then now I wonder where the fish is the toilet???
