Knife attack at Beijing nursery

A doorman at a Beijing kindergarten has stabbed 15 children, killing one of them, according to Chinese state media.

Three teachers were also injured when the knife-wielding man went on the rampage at a nursery in Beijing University's Number One Hospital.

The alleged attacker, 51-year-old Xu Heping, has now been detained by police for questioning.

The motive for the stabbing is unclear, but Mr Xu is said to have had a history of mental illness.

The incident was "the worst attack on children in the capital in decades", according to China Central Television (CCTV).

Decades?

Has it really been that long since the Tiananmen Square Massacre?

Decades?

Hmm. I coulda swore it happened less than twenty years ago.
