BEIJING - Two men rammed a dump truck into a group of jogging policemen and then tossed explosives into their barracks Monday, killing 16 officers in a restive Chinese province bordering Central Asia, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
The attack in Xinjiang province came just four days before the start of the Beijing Olympics - an event that has put security forces nationwide on alert and that at least one militant Muslim group has vowed to disrupt. Xinhua, citing local police, called it a "suspected terrorist attack."
(...)Police arrested the two attackers, one of whom had a leg injury, the report said.
The attack was one of the deadliest and most brazen in recent years in Xinjiang province, where local Muslims have waged a sporadically violent rebellion against Chinese rule.
At the same time, I do note that the targets in this attack were not innocent civilians, but rather probably-brainless, probably-also-evil-themselves minions of the state apparatus of the Communist regime. This is better than the behavior of "Palestinian" terrorists, the Iraqi and Afghan "insurgents", the Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives. Hopefully, these Sino-Islamists will refrain from targeting innocents, unlike other Islamist terror groups. This appears to be a "jihad" of a self-defensive nature, unlike all other jihads we've hitherto witnessed.
Apparently, things don't appear to be shaping up to go the way the Communists want during the Bloody Olympics. Well, that's, after all, karma... they brought it all upon themselves by doing unto others as they'd not have them do unto them.
