"Chinese troops seek to quell unrest; In Western city, many try to flee ethnic violence" by Ariana Eunjung Cha, Washington Post | July 9, 2009
URUMQI, China - The Chinese government blanketed this strife-torn city with 20,000 new security troops yesterday, as thousands of residents began to flee following the deadly ethnic clashes that erupted over the weekend.
The top Communist Party official in Urumqi, the capital of China’s far-western Xinjiang region, said that order had been restored, and that the government would seek the death penalty for the perpetrators of the violence, which has claimed at least 156 lives. The official, Li Zhi, said many of the suspects were students....
Yup, THAT is who the CIA USES!! Just ASK IRAN!
The unrest has become a major challenge for this country’s Communist leaders. In a sign of their growing concern about the situation, President Hu Jintao canceled plans to attend the Group of Eight summit in Italy and rushed home early yesterday.
And CUI BONO, 'eh?
What did they NOT WANT President Hu to hear, huh?
Those WAR PLANS against IRAN?
Relations between ethnic minorities and Han Chinese, who make up more than 90 percent of the Chinese population, have long been tense. But until the melee on Sunday, Urumqi had been one of the calmer parts of the West.
Oh, the STENCH of WESTERN INTELLIGENCE is SUFFOCATING!
Thousands of Urumqi residents have responded to the violence by fleeing. Men, women, and children carrying hastily packed shopping bags with their most valued possessions crowded the city’s main bus and train stations yesterday. Tickets to many destinations were sold out for the next three days. Universities chartered buses to send students back to their home cities. And on many streets, entire families heading anywhere but here slugged through the heat lugging suitcases and blankets.
Isn't it something how the MSM can REPORT on THESE POOR MUSLIM REFUGEES and yet IGNORE the MORE than 3 MILLION we have created in PAKISTAN ALONE?!!
And the U.S. is CREATING these, too, with their "Al-CIA-Duh" TOOL!
Despite a curfew from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., small clashes between Uighurs and Han Chinese continued. About 300 Han Chinese rioters attacked Uighur shops and homes, witnesses said.
Meanwhile, clusters of armed groups roamed the streets during the day. About 20 Han Chinese men with wooden bats and other weapons converged to beat a Uighur man, according to a reporter with Agence France-Presse who witnessed the incident. A separate group of Han Chinese, who had been reading newspaper coverage of the violence, chased Uighurs at an intersection, catching one of them and attacking him.
Gee, all of a sudden the lying Zionist War Press cares about Muslims?
By evening the area around Urumqi’s bazaar, where the protest started Sunday, had been transformed into a military zone....
