Explosion at McDonald’s Kills 1, Injures 30
- Share via
An explosion ripped through a McDonald’s restaurant during the busy dinner hour in China’s central city of Xian, killing one person and injuring as many as 30, witnesses and hospital officials said.
Local reporters quoted a police statement as saying the blast was deliberately set off, calling it sabotage, but they gave no motive for the attack, which left two of the injured in critical condition.
Officials said they suspected that the blast was triggered deliberately by the sole person killed in the explosion, who they said was from the city of Chongqing, about 370 miles south of Xian.
