ALERT - China: An attack on the Olympics foiled earlier this year
BEIJING - suspected separatists killed earlier this year in Xinjiang, Muslim region of northwestern China, were preparing an attack on the next Olympics in Beijing, said a senior Chinese Sunday quoted by the official media.
Terrorist Attack Prevented for Olympics: Official
The terrorists killed earlier this year in the northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region had planned an attack targeting the Beijing Olympic Games, a senior Chinese official said on Sunday.
Chinese police smashed a terrorist gang in January in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang, killing two and arresting 15 others. Knives, axes and books about terrorism were seized.
"Obviously, the gang had planned an attack targeting the Olympics," said Wang Lequan, chief of the Xinjiang autonomous regional committee of the Communist Party of China on the sidelines of the national parliamentary session.
The group was said to have collaborated with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), a group the United Nations labeled a terrorist organization in 2002.
"The Olympic Games slated for this August is a big event, but there are always a few people who conspire sabotages. It is no longer a secret now," said Wang.
"Those terrorists, saboteurs and secessionists are to be battered resolutely, no matter what ethnic group they are from," said the official.
With this and maybe the mussies being involved in the attempted plane crash that was thwarted.. Maybe China will come around on supporting the US on the WOT.. Like Iran..
But somehow I doubt that will happen.

The Reds want the Olympics to be a showcase of power and organization. Since they don’t seem to be hampered by political correctness when it comes to human rights, any towel-topper that wants to upset the Olympics in any way should expect it to be a suicide mission, either at the moment or very soon thereafter. It is also very likely that muzzies all over China will find their time on this earth is up.
The USA should pay attention. Regarding islam I fully expect that we will soon have to decide between dhimmitude and a politically incorrect solution.
Chinese olympics, I fart in your general direction.
I think we should expect the unexpected this Olympics...
It is going to be an interesting year, in many ways...
“Those terrorists, saboteurs and secessionists are to be battered resolutely, no matter what ethnic group they are from,” said the official. .............. And I’m sure no rough interrogation methods (torture) will be used there to get information. sarc.
I’m skeptical about the story. China can kill anybody they want and call them muzzies so the world forgives them.
I interpret this article more as an attmept to manipulate news attention away from China’s human right issues and completely the ridiculous health hazards of their exported products. (Not saying the guy was not necessarily dangerous. But....
They know arresting someone with a few knives and billing it as stopping a major terrorist attack would resonate in the WEST. In the meantime taiting heparin, lead, etc. from China are killing and or damaging the health of people worldwide.
No doubt heir exports are killing more people now than this “terrorist” would have in his whole lifetime.
If I were an Olympian, I would want to know what two-three weeks in Beijing would cost it terms of my health and expected life span (terrible air pollution, tainted food, etc.)
