Nach dem blutigen Terrorakt in Kunming Anfang März hat sich nun ein neuerlicher, schwerer Anschlag in der Uiguren-Provinz Xinjiang ereignet. Bei zwei Autobombenanschlägen, für die die chinesischen Behörden uigurische Separatisten verantwortlich machen, starben beinahe 40 Menschen.

Urumqi attack: China arrests suspect in Xinjiang

Authorities in China say they have held a suspect over Thursday's attack on a market in Urumqi in Xinjiang province in which 39 people died. More than 90 others were wounded. The man was held in Bayingolin prefecture, to the south of Urumqi. The other four suspects died in the attack, officials told Xinhua. [...] The authorities have announced a one-year campaign against militant violence in Xinjiang province, home to the Muslim Uighur minority.

Two vehicles drove into crowds at a market in Urumqi and threw explosives in Thursday's attack. One of the vehicles then blew up. [...] Beijing has blamed these - and other recent mass-casualty attacks - on Uighur separatists.
