The Xinjiang Terrorist Attack
December 31,2009 (China Military News reporting by Johnathan Weng) -- On August 4, 2008, a raid of a border armed police division in Xinjiang Monday morning killed 16 policemen. Almost 36 months later, some bloody photos about this incident have been unleashed from the inside of local police department. According to Chinese news resources, the attack occurred in the front of the Yiquan Hotel, which is nearly 200 meters away from the Kashi border armed police division, Xinhua correspondent reported from Kashi. The police investigation found that two attackers drove a tip lorry to hit a team of policemen who were jogging to pass the hotel in a regular morning exercise at about 8:00 a.m. The suspects then got off the lorry to throw explosive and hack the policemen with knives, after the vehicle veered to knock on a roadside wire pole, said the Kashi police. Fourteen policemen were killed on the spot and two others died on the way to hospital, according to the police source at that time. Chinese police foiled an attempted sabotage instigated and conducted by the "Eastern Turkistan" separatists on board a Southern Airlines flight in March. Three suspects detained by police fully admitted that the attack was masterminded. This bomb raid occurred just 4 days before the opening of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Chinese government believes that the game was a target for various anti-China and hostile forces, which are trying every possible way to sabotage the event. First pics are as the Chinese news media portrayed it.... And then, the real thing. |
