Taiwan McDonald's bombings

The bombings – part of an extortion attempt – caused the death of a policeman and injuries to four civilians,[citation needed] including two young children, and resulted in the temporary closure of certain McDonald's locations in Taiwan.

The device had again been found in the men's room and detonated as it was being examined by the restaurant manager, leaving them in a critical condition and hospitalising another employee.
