Title: "Xinjiang unrest leaves nearly 100 dead, including 37 civilians, China says" Post by: WhiskeyGirl on August 03, 2014, 07:52:35 AM Quote Masked militants attacked civilians, police and officials last week in China’s far western region of Xinjiang leading to almost 100 deaths, the government said on Sunday, giving fresh details on one of the worst incidents of unrest in years. The official Xinhua news agency said 59 “terrorists” were gunned down by security forces in Shache county in Xinjiang’s far south, while 37 civilians were killed in the attacks on 28 July. State media had reported the incident a day later, saying dozens of people had been killed when knife-wielding attackers had staged assaults in two towns in the region. A high-profile Xinjiang imam, Jume Tahir, who had staunchly supported the Communist party, was stabbed to death on 30 July. ::snipping3:: read more here - http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/03/xinjiang-100-dead-37-civilians-china (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/03/xinjiang-100-dead-37-civilians-china) How many citizens in China have guns to defend themselves? Is this the American citizens future? If you read the rest of the article, it has links to Uighurs, Muslims, and domestic and external terrorist organizations.

Three of them remain in Guantanamo, despite a U.S. court order to release them. http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2013/02/07/uighurs_who_went_from_guantanamo_to_paradise_running_out_of_money_and_patience.html (http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2013/02/07/uighurs_who_went_from_guantanamo_to_paradise_running_out_of_money_and_patience.html) If you read the stories above, it seems like some of them were fleeing violence in China. Apparently they were 'refugees'. Where are they today? Imagine, REFUGEES resettled in El Salvador? Maybe they have slipped over the border and claimed a secondary REFUGEE status? Demanded housing? Claimed they were 'young people'? What's wrong with this picture? just my humble opinion |
