China Kills 13 Islamic Terrorists According to recent reports, China just executed 13 people for their involvement in terrorist attacks in the far western region of Xinjiang. State media claims that three more were sentenced to death for staging a lethal attack in Beijings Tiananmen Square. The 13 criminals had planned violent terrorist attacks and ruthlessly killed police officers, government officials and civilians, which took innocent lives, caused huge property losses, and seriously endangered public security, an official news agency called Xinhua said. Xinjiang is known as the home of Muslim Uighurs, who speak a Turkic language. This is not the first time China has blamed attacks on Islamist separatists, given that they seek to establish an independent state called East Turkestan. Uighur groups claim that the governments repressive policies have provoked unrest, but Beijing denies their involvement. What do you think? Do you support China taking action?
