Blasts kill dozens at market in China's restive Xinjiang region
By Jethro Mullen, CNN
updated 5:49 AM EDT, Thu May 22, 2014
Hong Kong (CNN) -- A series of explosions tore through an open-air market in
the capital of the volatile western Chinese region of Xinjiang on Thursday,
killing dozens of people and wounding many more, state media reported.
China's Ministry of Public Security said the attack in the heavily policed
city of Urumqi was "a serious violent terrorist incident" and vowed to crack
down on its perpetrators. President Xi Jinping called for the terrorists
behind it to be "severely" punished.
Two SUVs slammed into shoppers gathered at the market in Urumqi at 7:50 a.m.
Thursday, and explosives were flung out of the vehicles, China's official
news agency Xinhua said.
The vehicles then exploded, according to Xinhua, which said at least 31
people were killed and more than 90 wounded.
Some of the photos circulating on social media suggested a hellish scene,
with bodies strewn on the floor amid burning wreckage. Others showed flames
and smoke billowing out from the end of a tree-lined street guarded by
police officers.
'An enormous sound'
"I heard an enormous sound, then I looked out from my balcony," said a
resident of a building near the explosion who would only give his surname of
Shan.
He told CNN that trees obscured much of his view of the scene, but that he "
could see there was chaos, with people injured."
Many of the victims caught in the blasts were elderly people who regularly
visited the morning market, Xinhua reported.
"It's mainly people coming to trade vegetables, especially the elderly who
get up early and buy vegetables to cook," Shan said.
String of recent attacks
Chinese authorities have stepped up security measures in Xinjiang in recent
months amid a series of attacks within the region and in major Chinese
cities outside it.
On Wednesday, the day before the blasts, Xinhua reported that 39 people had
been sentenced to prison in the past two months for "inciting violence" in
Xinjiang.
But the devastating blasts Thursday suggest the government is facing a foe
determined to wreak havoc.
Thursday's attack at the market comes less than a month after an explosion
hit a train station in Urumqi, killing three people and wounding 79 others.
That blast took place on April 30, just after Xi had wrapped up a visit to
the restive region.
Ethnic tensions
Chinese officials have linked a mass knife attack in March that killed 29
people at a train station in the southwestern city of Kunming to Islamic
separatists from Xinjiang.
They have also blamed separatists for an attack in Beijing's Tiananmen
Square in October in which a car rammed into a pedestrian bridge and burst
into flames, killing two tourists and the three occupants of the vehicle.
The knife-wielding assailants in the Kunming attack and the people in the
car that hit Tiananmen were identified as Uyghurs, a Turkic-speaking,
predominantly Muslim ethnic group from Xinjiang.
Ethnic tensions between Uyghurs and Han Chinese people, millions of whom
have migrated to resource-rich Xinjiang in recent decades, have repeatedly
boiled over into deadly riots and clashes with authorities in recent years.
Some Uyghurs have expressed resentment over harsh treatment from Chinese
security forces and Han people taking the lion's share of economic
opportunities in Xinjiang. The Han are the predominant ethnic group in China
, making up more than 90% of the overall population.
Shift in target
The pattern of ethnic violence in the region goes back decades, according to
James Leibold, an expert in ethnic relations in China at La Trobe
University in Melbourne.
"But what's new, and what I think is significant, is that we have a shift in
target," Leibold said. "We have a targeting of innocent civilians, places
where innocent civilians gather -- an attempt to maim innocent civilians in
large numbers."
The other change is that the violence has "seeped outside" the borders of
Xinjiang into other parts of China, he said.
It remains unclear who exactly is behind the high-profile attacks in recent
months.
Chinese officials have pointed to a murky separatist group, the East
Turkestan Islamic Movement (E.T.I.M), which they have blamed for violent
acts in the past. East Turkestan is the name used by many Uyghur groups to
refer to Xinjiang.
But analysts are divided about the extent of the E.T.I.M.'s activities and
its links to global terrorist networks like al Qaeda.
"Generally, the government response is to blame terrorists without providing
many details," Leibold said. "So I suspect it's going to be very difficult
to get to the bottom of this incident like previous ones." | z***8
