Five people were killed and 22 injured after a man set off a bomb in a courtroom in far western China, the official reported on Saturday.

The explosion rocked a courthouse in Minle County in Gansu province on Friday morning, Xinhua said, citing local police.

A 62-year-old farmer, Qian Wenzhao, walked into a meeting room of the county courthouse and ignited explosives.

Two people died on the spot, and three died later in hospital, Xinhua said. The dead included the president of the court and a senior county official, as well as Qian himself.
