Chinese authorities say ETIM is one of the region's most violent groups, labeling it a terrorist organization and alleging that it has links to al-Qaida.

The United States has also put ETIM on a terrorist list.

Two years ago, China claimed that Muslim separatist groups and individuals in western China had carried out 260 attacks since 1995, killing 160 people and injuring 440.

Diplomats and foreign experts, however, say that many of the bombings and other violence China has linked to the group actually stem from personal disputes.

About two dozen Uighurs were captured by U.S. forces in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

China has demanded their return, but the United States fears they might face persecution there. Five Uighurs were sent to Albania last year after no other countries would accept the men.
