Taiwan McDonald's bombings

The Taiwan McDonald's bombings (Chinese: 麥當勞爆炸案; pinyin: màidāngláo bàozhà àn; lit. 'McDonald's bombing incidents') occurred on April 28 and 29, 1992. Bombs were planted in or near various McDonald's restaurant franchises in Taiwan. The bombings – part of an extortion attempt – caused the death of a policeman and injuries to four civilians, including two young children, and resulted in the temporary closure of certain McDonald's locations in Taiwan.

Two people were subsequently convicted of involvement in the bombings, with the bomber themselves being sentenced to life imprisonment.
