"At about 2:00 pm on Tuesday, we received a telephone call, saying that a man had rushed into a restaurant in the city's eastern suburbs with explosives, threatening to blow the place up," said Lu Zhongxue, director of Dongguan Police Station of Xi'an Public Security Bureau. The police immediately went to the restaurant and saw a man in his 40s holding a white coloured bottle and a lighter in his hands, with some detonators strapped to his body. "We calmed the man and he told us that the restaurant owed him 1,500 yuan (US$182) in salary, which he had asked for many times," Lu said.
