| 7 m***** terror cells smashed in West China |
| 2009-06-04 |
| The China Daily said the cells were uncovered in Kashgar, China's westernmost city and a key centre of culture for Uighurs, the Muslim ethnic group that has long bridled under Chinese rule. No further details about the cells were given by the newspaper, which attributed the information to Zhang Jian, the city's Communist Party chief. But it quoted Zhang as saying the region faced an ongoing threat from terrorists who "remote control" local operatives from abroad via the Internet. |

| #4 Anymouse, you are right, and the Chinese are not a good guy (they are culturally cleansing Tibet as well), but the Uighurs chose to associate with Al Queda so I don't care what happens to them now. |

| #3 Not mentioned is that the Han Chinese are slowly ethnically cleansing the Uighurs, by moving so many Han Chinese into their area that Uighurs are locked out of their own territory. The Chinese build Chinese only cities right next door to the Uighur cities, but the Chinese cities get all the commerce and local resources, and the Uighurs get nothing. |

| #2 So the DoD gives the Uighurs laptops in Gitmo and allowed to watch al Jazeera on sat TV? Please tell me this was a sting op, cooperating with the Chinese! |
