FOUR people suspected of a terrorist attack at a railway station in Kunming early this year went on trial on Friday in southwest China's Yunnan Province.

The Kunming Municipal Intermediate People's Court has opened a public trial, Xinhua learned from the Supreme People's Court.

On March 1, a group of assailants armed with knives attacked civilians at the station in the provincial capital, causing 31 deaths and injuring another 141. Police shot dead four of the attackers and detained the four who are now on trial.

The Kunming Municipal People's Procuratorate found that the suspects were involved in organizing, leading or taking part in the attack as well as intentional homicide.
