Six injured in China train station attack
[The Peninsula] Six people were maimed in a knife attack at a Chinese train station yesterday, the third in a series of recent station stabbings with authorities blaming the first two on "terrorists" from Xinjiang.Police shot one of the attackers at the station in the southern metropolis of Guangzhou, the city's public security bureau said in a statement on its microblog, adding that all six injured had been hospitalised. Four attackers were involved, the People's Daily newspaper reported on its verified microblog, adding they were wearing white caps, often donned by Moslems, and police opened fire on them after they ignored warnings. Reports said one of the men died, one was tossed in the slammer You have the right to remain silent... and two escaped, with one of them captured later. The incident comes less than a week after a stabbing spree and kaboom at the opposite end of the country left two attackers and a civilian dead, and 79 people maimed, at a railway station in Urumqi. The city is the capital of Xinjiang, home to the mostly Moslem Uighur minority. Posted by: Fred 2014-05-07 |
