Xinjiang Attack
Share

Eight terrorists died and one more was arrested during a bust on a group responsible for an "organized and premeditated terrorist attack" on December 30, 2013, according to sources with the Public Security Bureau of Kashgar in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Nine terrorists attacked a police station while wielding knives in Shache County in Kashgar. They also threw explosives and set police cars on fire.

An initial probe showed that the gang, led by Usman Barat and Abdugheni Abdukhadir, had gathered to watch terrorist videos and promote religious extremist ideas since last August. They also raised funds as well as making and testing explosives for planned terrorist attacks, according to police sources.

Police reported no additional casualties. They confiscated 25 explosives and nine knives from the site.

Local social order has returned to normal, according to police.
