Beijing Olympics security fears as terror attack kills 16 Chinese policemen
The seemingly well-coordinated assault on a local border police headquarters in the predominantly Muslim province of Xinjiang appears to be China’s most serious act of political terror in more than a decade.
Ten days ago, a Muslim group which said it was fighting for the liberation of the region posted a video to a security website threatening to make the “most critical points of the Olympics” a target.
According to state media, policemen from the station in Kashgar were doing their morning exercises when a lorry containing two men drove up. They threw two grenades into the exercise yard, and then followed up slashing at the officers with knives.
Fourteen police died on the spot, and two more on the way to hospital. Another 16 were injured, according to the reports. Both attackers were apprehended.
“The raid was suspected as a terrorist attack,” a police spokesman said. The incident was over by 8am local time.
