Airport bomber gets six years

A man who set off a homemade bomb at Beijing Capital International Airport to protest the handling of a dispute that he alleges left him in a wheelchair was sentenced on Tuesday to six years in prison.

Ji Zhongxing, of Shandong province, was detained after his explosive device, which he made out of fireworks, went off outside the arrivals hall at Terminal 3 at 6:24 pm on July 20.

Ji lost his left hand in the blast, which also gave minor injuries to a police officer.
