Chinese police shoot dead 28 from ‘terrorist group’: Authorities
Beijing – Chinese police have killed 28 members of a “terrorist group” in the mainly Muslim Xinjiang region, authorities announced Friday, in the bloodiest such operation in months and as Beijing denounces Western “double standards” in the wake of the Paris attacks.
The killings took place over the course of a 56-day manhunt following an attack on a colliery in Aksu in September that left 16 people dead, said the Xinjiang regional government’s Tianshan web portal. One “thug” surrendered, it added.
…
The Tianshan portal said police mobilised around 10,000 people of “various ethnic groups” to help in the search for the coal mine attackers.
Pictures showed farmers armed with wooden batons and farm tools, and a helicopter that was also deployed in the operation.
The “mobsters” were shot dead during several gun battles, the last of them on November 12, it said.

BEIJING – South-western Guangxi’s Liuzhou city was rocked by another blast on Thursday morning (Oct 1), which caused bricks to rain onto the streets below a residential area.

Police kill six attackers in China’s Xinjiang
Police kill 6 attackers in China’s Xinjiang after they “sought to ignite explosive devices”
BEIJING: Police in China’s far-western Xinjiang region shot dead six attackers on Monday (Jan 12), a state-run news portal said, amid a security clampdown in the violence-torn, mainly Muslim area. There were no police or civilian casualties, according to the report by Xinjiang’s government-run Tianshan news site.
Xinjiang is home to China’s nine-million-strong Turkic-speaking and mostly Muslim ethnic minority. Monday’s clash was triggered when residents of Shule county, near the ancient Silk Road city of Kashgar, noticed “a suspicious person carrying an explosive device”, Tianshan said.
They called police, who opened fire after the attacker tried to attack an officer with an axe and detonate the device, according to the report. The assailant was killed, but soon afterwards five more attackers “sought to ignite explosive devices one after the other”, Tianshan said. The five were “resolutely” shot dead by police, it added.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China has executed eight people for “terrorist” attacks in its restive far western region of Xinjiang, including three who “masterminded” a dramatic car crash in the capital’s Tiananmen Square in 2013, state media said.
Xinjiang is the traditional home of Muslim Uighurs who speak a Turkic language, and China has attributed attacks there to Islamist separatists it says seek to establish an independent state called East Turkestan.
…
Three of the executed group “masterminded” the October 2013 attack in the heart of the Chinese capital, official news agency Xinhua said late on Saturday.
Five people were killed and 40 injured in the incident, when a car plowed into a crowd in the square and burst into flames. The other executions, carried out in recent days, were punishment for crimes ranging from setting up a terrorist outfit and illegally making explosives to attacking police officers and killing government officials, Xinhua said.

Dozens killed and injured in terror attack in China’s Xinjiang
AFP News
Dozens of people were killed and injured in a “terrorist attack” in China’s far western Xinjiang region, home to the mainly Muslim Uighur minority, state media reported Tuesday.
A knife-wielding gang attacked a police station and government offices in Shache county early Monday, the official Xinhua news agency said citing local police, and “dozens of Uighur and Han civilians were killed or injured”.
“Police officers at the scene shot dead dozens of members of the mob,” the report added.
“Initial investigation showed that it was a premeditated terror attack,” it said.
Beijing commonly blames separatists from Xinjiang for carrying out terror attacks which have grown in scale over the last year and spread outside the restive region.

China launches crackdown after bombing kills 43
By | Associated Press – 2 hours 4 minutes ago
URUMQI, China (AP) — Chinese authorities launched a yearlong anti-terrorism crackdown Saturday in China’s Muslim northwest after a bombing in the region killed at least 43 people, while also announcing the first arrest in the attack.
Police announced names of five people blamed for Thursday’s attack in a vegetable market in the city of Urumqi, and accused them of forming a “terrorist gang” at the end of 2013, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Four of the suspects were killed and the fifth was captured Thursday night in an area about 250 kilometers (150 miles) south of Urumqi, Xinhua said.
The group “took part in illegal religious activities, watched and listened to terrorist violence video and audio materials,” according to the news agency.
It said an anti-terrorism campaign with Xinjiang “as the major battlefield” started Friday. Authorities would target religious extremist groups, gun and “explosive manufacturing dens and terrorist training camps.”
…
A measure under which passengers at stations in central Beijing are required to undergo security checks will be extended to three additional stations, the city government said.

Blasts kill dozens at market in China’s restive Xinjiang region
Hong Kong (CNN) — A series of explosions tore through an open-air market in the capital of the volatile western Chinese region of Xinjiang on Thursday, killing dozens of people and wounding many more, state media reported.
China’s Ministry of Public Security said the attack in the heavily policed city of Urumqi was “a serious violent terrorist incident” and vowed to crack down on its perpetrators. President Xi Jinping called for the terrorists behind it to be “severely” punished.
Two SUVs slammed into shoppers gathered at the market in Urumqi at 7:50 a.m. Thursday, and explosives were flung out of the vehicles, China’s official news agency Xinhua said.
The vehicles then exploded, according to Xinhua, which said at least 31 people were killed and more than 90 wounded.

May 12, 2014
Police in China’s Xinjiang region, home to mainly Muslim Uighurs, have arrested more than 200 people over six weeks for “dissemination of violent or terrorist videos”, state media said today, amid a wave of train station attacks.
Police in the far western region, which is periodically hit by unrest, detained 232 people who “have circulated videos promoting terrorism through the Internet and on portable devices”, the state-run Global Times newspaper said, citing a Legal Daily report.
…
Beijing says groups including the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) and East Turkestan Islamic Movement (Etim), influenced by al-Qaeda, have inspired and even orchestrated violence in China from Central Asia, which borders Xinjiang.
Some experts, however, question the influence of the TIP, a shadowy organisation that has released videos praising attacks in China but has yet to explicitly claim responsibility for them.

Deadly Blast Undermines Chinese President’s Vow to Beat Terrorism
An attack on a plaza near a busy railroad station in China’s fraught Xinjiang province left three dead and 79 injured, marking another violent incident in the region and serving as a somber reminder that Chinese efforts to stem terrorist attacks might not be working.
Last month, a large group of men armed with knives assaulted a different train station in the region, leaving 29 dead and 130 injured. Local officials blamed that attack on militant separatists that were part of the minority Muslim Uighur community, which resides in the region.
…
And in October, two tourists were killed and about 40 injured when three people identified as Uighurs drove a car into Tiananmen Square.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack today, but Chinese analysts suspect that the incident, carried out by men armed with knives and explosives, was also perpetrated by militant Uighurs.

ETIM terror group ‘behind Tian’anmen suicide attack’
Updated: 2013-11-02 00:36
By CUI JIA in Urumqi (China Daily)
Terrorist organization the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) was behind this week’s suicide attack in Beijing’s Tian’anmen Square, China’s top security official said.
“This violent terrorist incident in Beijing was organized and premeditated by the ETIM, which is entrenched in central and western Asian regions,” said Meng Jianzhu, chief of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.
Meng was speaking to Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV.
He made the comments, without giving further details, on the sidelines of a regional security meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan, on Thursday.
Two people were killed and another 40 injured at noon on Monday when Usmen Hasan, his mother Kuwanhan Reyim and his wife Gulkiz Gini, from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region drove a jeep into a crowd after crashing into a guardrail on the Jinshui Bridge, which spans the Forbidden City moat.
Two knives, an iron baton and flags related to religious extremism were found in the jeep, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Five accomplices, also from Xinjiang, were arrested. Police found knives and at least one “jihadist” flag at the temporary residence of the suspects, who admitted that they knew Usmen, and to conspiring to plan and carry out the attack.
