Xinhua said the assailants plowed through crowds of shoppers in off-road vehicles and threw explosives out the window before crashing head-on in the early morning attack in the city of Urumqi. It said one of the vehicles then exploded and quoted an eyewitness as saying there had been up to a dozen blasts in all.

A statement from the Xinjiang regional government said the attack occurred at 7:50 a.m. and people had been killed and injured, but gave no further details.

"I heard four or five explosions. I was very scared. I saw three or four people lying on the ground," said Fang Shaoying, the owner of a small supermarket located near the scene of the blast.

Hmmm, "volatile".

Doesn't that mean "Muslim infested"?

I hope China decides to eliminate its Turkic Uighur Muslim population. 100% No remainder

This could be interesting, the muslins starting their shiite in a country that is not afraid to go medieval on their a$$es.
Time for some popcorn.

The Han Chinese have done similar things in their history when they felt that was an existential need.

They are sort of doing it now. They have been moving Han Chinese (the majority ethnic group) into Xinjiang for years now, and the Han have recently become the majority. I think a lot of this unrest is that the Amish see themselves as being "gentrified."

Rabid curs, like the Boston marathon bombers.
They should be shot dead on sight.

Not me. If the Uighurs mount a serious challenge to central control it can only draw China's resources away from its warlike intentions toward its neighbors.

Let the ancient barbarians fight among themselves, leave the rest of the world alone for awhile.

I'm sure it lost something in the translation.

When Jesus returns He wipes out all His enemies. He told the parable of the talents right before entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The last part of the parable -

“Luke 19:26 [nobleman speaking] I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. 27 But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence.”
