BEIJING — An expelled student bent on revenge put arsenic in a college cafeteria’s flour bin, poisoning 788 people, an official newspaper reported Friday. None of them died.
The Liberation Daily said a 20-year-old former student of the Finance and Tax School in Zhengzhou, in central China, climbed through a cafeteria window and put more than two pounds of arsenic in a jar of flour.
The woman was arrested and confessed, news reports said.
