Chinese authorities will reopen an investigation into claims made by a man who detonated a bomb at Beijing Capital International Airport after he had petitioned the government for eight years to look into his case.

The southern city of Dongguan will examine Ji Zhongxing’s assertions he sustained injuries after being beaten by public security personnel in June 2005, the official Xinhua News Agency said yesterday, citing the local government. The wheelchair-bound Ji, 34, set off the homemade device outside the exit to an arrival hall on July 20, injuring his arm. He was the only one hurt in the blast, Xinhua said.
