Shanghai Pudong airport explosion wounds four | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
A man has set off a homemade explosive device at Shanghai international airport, injuring four people as well as himself, Chinese officials say. | |
The attacker threw a bottle containing explosives, which went off near a check-in counter in Terminal Two. | |
The man then took out a knife and stabbed his own neck, officials say. | |
In 2013 a man in a wheelchair detonated a bomb at Beijing airport to highlight a personal grievance. He was later sentenced to six years in prison. | |
The latest incident happened at about 15:00 (07:00) on Sunday. | |
Eyewitness Ni Bowen told the Associated Press news agency that she was waiting to check in at Pudong International Airport when there was a loud bang. | |
"A beer bottle filled with white smoke rolled right by my feet. I was scared and made off at once,'' she said. | |
The four injured people were taken to hospital. There is no word about their condition, or the identity of the attacker. |
