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........
-
With knives and small explosives, the 2 demolished a platoon of paramilitary police officers in a high risk rebel zone.
If heavily armed...the chinese 100% kaput...
Will Mas Selamat and hois gang copy cat this attack?
Is the SAF or
Police ready? Can they jog in peace at Marine Parade, West Coast etc? -
where the hell will they get the grenades in the first place...and i do believe that the spf and saf are ready. ISD will probably foil their plan before they can even excute it. sg experienced terrorist attacks before, so why not now?
