POLICE have cracked a terrorist group two weeks before the anniversary of the bloody separatist riot in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region that left 197 dead, the Ministry of Public Security said today.
The group of more than 10 terrorists was planning a new wave of attacks before they were busted, the ministry's spokesman Wu Heping said today.
Officers busted dozens of self-made bombs, molotov cocktails, and other weapons they were planning to use in the attack.
Police followed a tip from an extradition case last December when about 20 Chinese were repatriated from another country. Wu did not say where they were returning from.
Police found three among the 20 were wanted terrorists in China. They also led to more than 10 arrests of alleged terrorists.
Further interrogation confirmed that this group was responsible for a double car bombing in Xinjiang's Kuqa County that killed one security guard and a grenade attack near the police station of Kashgar that killed 16 officers and injured 16 others.
The group joined the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement when they fled the country after the July 5 ethnic riot. China has blamed the riot on terrorist groups and separatists.
"The breaking up of this large terrorist group once again proves that the East Turkestan Islamic Movement is the major terror threat facing China at present and henceforward," Wu said.
