Bikers rampage through Australian airport; 1 dead
Warring bikers brawled through Australia’s largest airport Sunday, beating one suspected gang member to death and brandishing metal poles as they rampaged through the main domestic terminal in front of terrified travelers.
Police said a group of suspected gang members was ambushed after disembarking from an airplane.
