Lee Chen-nan and Lin Kuo-ching, members of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, faked an attack in a building where students, thought to be unaware that the exercise was a stunt, were taking exams.

A spokesman for National Taiwan University said the stunt had annoyed students, although the MPs said that many students had been supportive.

Taiwan's Cabinet condemned the incident and ordered an investigation.
