Any evidence, anyone, that the Uighurs want help from al qaeda?

China Trained Taliban And Al-Qaeda Fighters Says US Intel

By Bill Gertz

China's military provided training for Afghanistan's Taliban militia and its al Qaeda supporters, according to a U.S. intelligence report.

The intelligence was obtained from anti-Taliban Afghan sources. It was surprising to U.S. analysts because China is a target of Islamic separatists, who are known to have been trained in terrorist camps in Afghanistan.

The training of the Taliban forces took place before September 11. It was carried out in cooperation with Pakistan's ISI intelligence service, defense officials told us.

The report, and others like it, was unwelcome news for some of the pro-China analysts within the U.S. government who are pushing the Bush administration to adopt a more conciliatory posture toward the communist government in Beijing. These officials point to China's cooperation in the war on terrorism, which has included intelligence sharing of limited value.

U.S. intelligence officials do not know why the Chinese provided the military training to Islamic radicals. But some analysts believe it was an attempt to gain influence over the Taliban and al Qaeda.

Another theory is that the Chinese military training was a high-risk variation on the Soviet deception operation in the 1920s known as the Trust. The operation created a false dissident organization in Russia. The group lured regime opponents back to Russia, where they were imprisonment or executed. The Chinese training could have been part of an effort to identify some of the thousands of Uighurs in China's western Xinjiang province, who are working with al Qaeda.

Evidence of Chinese military backing for the Taliban continues to surface. Late last month, U.S. Army Special Forces troops discovered 30 HN-5s, the designation for Chinese-made SA-7s surface-to-air missiles, in southeastern Afghanistan.

Other intelligence reports indicated the Chinese shipped missiles to the Taliban after September 11. China's government has denied supporting al Qaeda and the Taliban. ..."

Personally, I think this is just a ChiCom plant story, to allow the ChiComs to paint a legit freedom movement as being ‘terrorist’.

Im all for the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, the Mongols in inner Mongolia, etc breaking away, and “The People’s Republic of China”, collapsing.

This is just a preemptive move by the Chicoms, heading off any international support that freedom movements in thier country might receive.

Hope Al-Q gets involved though. I couldnt think of two better people fighting each other.

Make no mistake, China is a menace. And so is Al-Q. Hope they both go down together.

I’m hoping for a high scoring tie.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I hope they both lose...

Did any of you see that email showing the “Chinese Hostage Negotiation”? We’ve been playing pat-a-cake with AQ compared to what China will do.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Good— China does not subscribe to political correctness and will not dick around in their response.

[BradyLS]

ChiComs won’t coddle them in a Club Gitmo, either.

To quote a wise little guy -

"Well, good luck with that!"

[COBOL2Java]

Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.
  - Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar" (Antony's solioquy after Caesar's murder)

[Rockitz]

Big mistake AQ! China doesn’t put up with that kinda shi+!

[Tainan]

It appears that this "threat" is being made by a break-awat faction of AQ..."AQIM."

Whether this splinter group has any substance or alignment with the main AQ group has yet to be determined.
Reminds me of the many different "PLO-type" groups scrambling around for credit after the numerous terr incidents in Europe/Mid-east.
Anyone with access to a fax machine or public telephone could make-up a new cell and claim credit or make threats.
Might be the same type of thing here.
AQ central knows who/what they are dealing with in the PLA.
Would they risk reprisal and the cut-off of funding/logistics over the Uigher issue?
I am skeptical on the authenticity of this one....but...stranger things have happened in the name of allahu FUBAR.

The taliban will find out what it feels like to mess
with ruthless folk.

Now let's see if China urges calm and caution, emphasizing harmony

Most importantly I hope both sides read each other their rights...

I don’t think China is going to hold hands and have a sing along and massive apologies with terrorists.
maybe Obama can take notes

[dfwgator]

Yep, I don’t think the Chinese are going to start asking, “Why do they hate us?”

I think the Chinese are just begging for a fight. I know they don’t want their people harmed, but the politboro strikes me as like a bunch of kids who have built this neat new set of toys and are just dying to try them out.

Kind of like male FReepers who get a new gun for Christmas and are waiting impatiently for Christmas dinner to be over and the guests go home so they can try out their new rifle.

The guests get thrown out of it’s an assault weapon. :)
