KASHGAR, China (AFP) - - Chinese authorities moved
Tuesday to keep a lid on further information about a bloody assault
on police in Kashgar with a truck, explosives and machetes.
At the hotel directly across from the site of Monday's raid,
which killed 16 policemen, guests were told in the morning that the
Internet had been shut off across the city, on police orders.
Foreign witnesses described a "sickening" scene that unfolded as
two assailants drove a truck at a group of policemen who were out
jogging, then attacked the officers with small explosives and
machetes.
"My wife almost threw up and had to lie down afterward," said
Wlodzislaw Duch, a Polish tourist who watched the assault from his
hotel room directly across the street from the scene.
The Xinhua news agency said the two, aged 28 and 33, were
arrested immediately, and identified the men as members of the
Muslim ethnic Uighur group, a Turkic-speaking people that have long
chafed at Chinese rule of Xinjiang.
========================
2 terrorists killed 16 Chinese policemen........
Should Uighurs be given independence or should they be forced to
remain part of China ? They are not Han
Chinese........
