China publishes names of six terrorists

THE Chinese police published a list of six terrorists yesterday and decided to freeze their funds and assets, which was the first move of its kind since an anti-terror bill that legally defines terrorists was adopted last year.

The six were all core members of the terrorist group "East Turkistan Islamic Movement," according to a statement issued yesterday by the Ministry of Public Security.

The ministry said the terrorists are responsible for recruiting members for the terrorist group, setting training camps on terrorism activities and raising funds to purchase explosives.

In July 2011, the terrorists set a string of terrorism attacks including killing, arson and blast in Kashi, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, according to the statement.
