Edit:
the suspect behind the blast in the arrivals hall of terminal three of the Beijing airport has reportedly been identified as[B] Ji Zhongxing[/B] from Shangdong, CCTVNews reported.
He allegedly attempted to blow himself up to protest a brutal police beating that left him disabled,
God damnit, Hector
[QUOTE=Blind Lulu;41529533]Reading the article it doesn't seem like anyone except the guy in the wheelchair got hurt, and he's still alive as far as I can tell.
I wonder if he was actually planning on hurting anyone.[/QUOTE]
Well he's gonna be dead anyway
As quickly as it happened the area has now been cleaned up and is reopen :v:
He just wanted to make a living and was driven to public suicide. China is a fucked up place sometimes

That's one for the textbooks.
What an asshole, even if this was just suicide, to A do it in a public place, B quite possible hurt others, and C using a wheelchair to hide a bomb (even if he uses a wheelchair himself)people i them have enough trouble as it is, they don't need people suspecting them of being bombers aswell.

Not as simple as a suicide; he clearly wanted to get his message out there.
According to the article, he had a more peaceful first option of distributing leaflets about his plight, but he was prevented from handing them out. With that he moved to the more extreme method, setting off an explosive crafted from fireworks. This is no villainous mastermind, but I sense just a man pushed to the ends of patience and into desperation.
