32. Chinese Criminals Poisoned Food at High School, 2002: 193 Wounded

Two caterers that served a Chinese high school in the city of Changde got into a dispute with the school over their contract. In retaliation, they put rat poison in some of the breakfast food that was served to students at Number One High School.
None of the children or teachers who consumed the food died; however, 193 became ill. The incident was considered a criminal rather than a terrorist attack. This was not the only time that food at Chinese schools have been laced with rat poison.
