Chinese police gun down 'terrorists'

"Chinese police have killed eight people after a "terrorist attack" in the country's northwest Xinjiang region, the regional government said.

The eight people were shot dead on Monday following an attack on a police station in Yarkand county, close to the old Silk Road city of Kashgar, the government said in its official news website statement.

"At around 6:30 am, nine thugs carrying knives attacked a police station in Kashgar's Yarkand county, throwing explosive devices and setting police cars on fire," the brief statement said.

"The police took decisive measures, shooting dead eight and capturing one," it added, labelling the incident a "violent terrorist attack."

Earlier this month, police gunned down 14 people during a riot near Kashgar that also killed two policemen.

And at least nine civilians and two policemen were killed in a separate outburst last month when people armed with axes and knives attacked a police station, also near Kashgar, state media said.

China has blamed some of the violence in Xinjiang on its substantial Muslim population, who they say are plotting a holy war in the region..."

ummm - imagine if the headline instead read "FBI gun down 'terrorists'".

8 terrorists gunned down - just imagine:

1/ the nutter CTers going to town on how this would likely be an inside job

2/ the PCers going to town on excessive force used.

and we'd never hear the end of it.
