Suicide bomb guard kills 24 migrants on bus

A guard on a Chinese bus carrying detained migrant workers detonated a suicide bomb, killing himself and the other 24 people on board, a human rights monitor said today.

The bus was on a main road near the city of Huidong, in the eastern province of Guangdong, when one of the two guards set off a home-made explosive, the Information Centre for Human Rights & Democracy said.
