Updated: 2004-09-24 09:17 Fourteen people have been
knifed in a Chinese internet cafe after two men ran amok in a terrifying 20
minute attack.
Most of those hurt in the Beijing attack received knife wounds to the back
and face. One woman is in a serious condition, according to the Beijing Times by
way of AFP. The motive is not known although there's speculation it could be
revenge.
Police have detained a number of suspects in connection with the incident.
Violence at Chinese internet cafes is nothing new. In May staff at one
cybercafe resigned after they were beaten up by a gang of 16 teenagers who were
barred from entering the cybercafe. The gang of youths beat one worker with bins
and fire extinguishers before trashing the premises.
Earlier, two cybercafe workers in Shanghai were chased and killed by a gang
of ten men over an argument concerning the use of computers
