Xinjiang Terrorists are Predominantly Women in 20's

Terrorists who were behind a series of Aug. 10 bombings in Kuqa county of Xinjiang, China, are predominantly women in 20's.

Quoting sources, Ta Kung Pao(大公報) in Hong Kong reported that four suspects, three women and a man, were pursued by police and hit the dead end, at which they killed themselves by setting off bombs they carried.

Around 2:30 am, Aug.10, Uyghur terrorists armed with guns, and home-made bombs made a series of attacks on police station, government offices, and markets, moving as a group.

A doctor at a people's clinic in Kuqa county said, "A bombing suspect apprehended by police is being treated. She is a 17 year-old woman and sustained a gun-shot wound during her arrest."

In the previous incident on Mar. 7, it was also a 19-year-old female from Kuqa county who attempted to blow up a passenger plane of China's Nanfang Airlines departing from Urumqi. She was subdued by flight crews.

Terrorism experts explained, "Uyghur's use of women is similar to Chechen's use of Black Widows."

Chechen Black Widows were wives, daughters or sisters of (Chechen) fighters killed during battles with Russians, who gain notoriety by wearing black funeral garbs, swearing vengeance, and mounting terrorism attacks.

“Asian Chicks Gone Wild?”

Sort of Asian — the people there are a mix of Asian and whites who once controlled the area. Blue eyes are common with the people of the northwest region of China.

These ones have Caucasian, not Asiatic features. There's also the question of cultural and religious compatibility in conservative cultures (Han and Uighur both) that are fiercely protective of the remnants of tradition in a modern (Westernized) world.
