Blast at Beijing Airport Terminal

BEIJING: A man in a wheelchair detonated
a home-made explosive in Beijing airport
on Saturday evening, injuring himself and
sending smoke billowing through the exit
area of the international arrivals section of
Terminal 3.
Individual Chinese unable to win redress
for grievances have in the past resorted to
extreme measures, including bombings, but
such incidents are rare amid the tight
security of airports, and the motive in this
case is not yet known.
There were no other injuries and
operations were normal after the blast, the
airport said on its microblog, while official
news agency Xinhua said the man
detonated a loud explosive device, but gave
no details.
State broadcaster China Central Television
said the explosion took place just feet
outside the door from which arriving
international passengers depart after
picking up their luggage. It was not clear
why the man was at the airport.
An airport spokeswoman declined to
speculate about the man's motive, saying
airport police were still investigating.
Police declined to comment. Officials said
the bomber was being treated for his
injuries.
A Reuters witness said things had returned
to normal about 90 minutes after the
explosion and there were no signs of extra
security.
Explosives are relatively easy to obtain in
China, home to the world's largest mining
and fireworks industries.

PS,how come a crude bomb like this escape HI-Tech bomb detection system??
