Chinese police use a flamethrower on 'Muslim terror suspects'
Chinese forces used a flamethrower to force more than 10 'terrorists' from a cave in the western Xinjiang region in the hunt for what Beijing has called foreign-led extremists.
Uighurs
China said security forces had recently killed 28 members of a group that carried out a deadly attack at a coal mine in Aksu in September, the first official mention of the incident reported by Radio Free Asia about two months ago.
I wonder how many are familiar with the task being undertaken in the photo ?
In its account, which could not be independently verified, the official People's Liberation Army Daily said armed police had tracked the attackers into the mountains 'like eagles discovering their prey'.
The PLA Daily said the special forces used flash grenades and tear gas to force the attackers out of hiding, but when those methods failed, a senior officer said: 'Use the flamethrower'.
After that, the newspaper said the attackers came out at the troops wielding knives and that they were then 'completely annihilated'
Knife/Gunfight, etc.
