Man blows himself up over $660 unpaid wages

A man seeking about $660 in unpaid wages walked into an office building in the northwestern Chinese city of Urumqi on Thursday and detonated a bomb.

Before the bomb exploded, Han threatened office workers and demanded that he be paid 4,500 yuan (U.S. $662), the news agency said. Police said Han had sued the company for the money, but lost the case in July.
