What bad timing for us! Only good thing is that it has happened before the security check and outside the airport. Also thank God he did not hide the packet in his wheel chair. Kanchan >From BBC
China blast at Beijing airport terminal Smoke spread around the arrivals hall after the blast There has been an explosion at Beijing Capital International Airport's Terminal 3, with a man in a wheelchair apparently detonating a device. Photos posted on China's Weibo microblogging site showed a dark-haired man waving a white package in the air before the blast. Later images showed the wheelchair on its side with officials treating a man on the floor. His condition was unclear. Smoke spread through the terminal after the blast. The device went off shortly before 18:30 (10:30 GMT) near one of the terminal's arrival gates. Xinhua news agency showed several medical workers providing emergency treatment, with police officers also at the scene. The man was named by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV as Ji Zhongxing, from Shandong province in China's north-east. He blew up a package of gunpowder and was taken to hospital, CCTV reported.
