BEIJING (Reuters) - A man who said he had a bomb burst into the Reuters news bureau in Beijing on Wednesday and held a number of journalists for about two hours before he released them unharmed. He was later arrested.
The intruder, complaining he had been wrongly diagnosed as mentally ill, demanded to be interviewed on camera about official corruption and other grievances. Around two hours after he freed the last of the Reuters staff, armed police arrested him.
