16 police killed in China border attack


news.yahoo.com

The report says the assailants used a dump truck to ram their way into the paramilitary police station in Kashi and then tossed two hand grenades. Besides the dead, Xinhua says 16 officers were injured.

Xinhua, citing police, said two attackers were arrested. It did not identify them.

The area is home to a Muslim Turkic people, the Uighurs (WEE'-gurs). The Uighurs have waged a simmering rebellion against Chinese rule.

What? Is this not news? Major terrorist style attack in china just days before the olympics? Come on this is not a NON event now. Calculated and committed this deed casts the Olympics in question maybe?

The Uighurs, according to the article, "have waged a simmering rebellion against Chinese rule."

Your signature asks: "When will you rebel?"

Yet you call their acts terroristic.

This story wouldn't make international news if it weren't for the Olympics. This wasn't a threat against the Olympics, nor was it really a major attack.
