'Dozens die' in China knife attack at Kunming train station

[RussiaPrussia]

(Reuters) - At least 28 people were killed by knife-wielding attackers in a "violent terrorist attack" at a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming, and police shot dead five of the assailants, state media said on Sunday.

Another 113 people were wounded, the official Xinhua news agency said, revising down an earlier higher figure. It said the attack had taken place late on Saturday evening.

"It was an organized, premeditated violent terrorist attack," Xinhua said.

Police shot dead five of the unidentified attackers and were searching for around five others, it said.

Kunming resident Yang Haifei told Xinhua that he was buying a ticket when he saw a group of people, mostly wearing black, rush into the station and start attacking bystanders.

"I saw a person come straight at me with a long knife and I ran away with everyone," he said, adding that the attackers caught those who were slower. "They just fell on the ground."

Graphic pictures on the Twitter-like microblogging service Sina Weibo showed bodies covered in blood lying on the ground at the station.

There was no immediate word on who was responsible.

Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered no effort be spared to track down those behind the attack.

"Severely punish in accordance with the law the violent terrorists and resolutely crack down on those who have been swollen with arrogance," Xinhua quoted him as saying.

"Understand the serious and complex nation of combating terrorism," Xi said. "Go all out to maintain social stability."

Domestic security chief Meng Jianzhu was on his way to the scene, Xinhua said.

Weibo users took to the service to describe details of what happened, though many of those posts were quickly deleted by government censors, especially those that described the attackers, two of whom were identified by some as women.

Others condemned the attack.

"No matter who, for whatever reason, or of what race, chose somewhere so crowded as a train station, and made innocent people their target - they are evil and they should go to hell," wrote one user.

The attack comes at a sensitive time as China gears up for the annual meeting of parliament, which opens in Beijing on Wednesday and is normally accompanied by a tightening of security across the country.

China has blamed similar incidents in the past on Islamist militants operating in the restive far western region of Xinjiang, though such attacks have generally been limited to Xinjiang itself.

China says its first major suicide attack, in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in October, involved militants from Xinjiang, home to the Muslim Uighur people, many of whom chafe at Chinese restrictions on their culture and religion.

Hu Xijin, editor of the influential Global Times newspaper, published by the ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily, wrote on his Weibo feed that the government should say who it suspected of the attack as soon as possible.

"If it was Xinjiang separatists, it needs to be announced promptly, as hearsay should not be allowed to fill the vacuum," Hu wrote.

[Proctor]

I agree with you on the last part, they want to ban everything nowadays

[Oneeye]

Only dull knives lacking assault knife features like being serrated, locking mechanisms, fixed blades, hollow handles, or double edges should be legal.

Also, knives that are small enough to be concealed should be illegal, as should knives with a blade over 8 cm.

'Dozens die' in China knife attack at Kunming train station (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-26402367)

An attack by knife-wielding men at a train station in Kunming in south-west China, has left at least 27 dead, the state news agency Xinhua says.

Nothing is known so far about the motivation behind the attack, in which 109 people are said to have been hurt.

Xinhua gave few further details, and the men responsible have not been identified.

A local television station said several of the attackers had been shot by police, according to Associated Press.

Chinese state television described the incident as a "violent terror attack".

Pools of blood

Eyewitnesses said that the men started attacking people at random.

Social media users in China have been posting pictures of the attack on the internet, but correspondents say they are being taken down.

Images seen by the BBC show men and women lying on the floor in pools of blood following the attack.

Mass stabbings are not uncommon in China, but none have been recently reported on this scale.

China security chief vows ‘severe’ justice for railway station attackers (http://rt.com/news/line/2014-03-02/#56026)

China’s domestic security chief has vowed that authorities will spare no effort to bring to justice the “Xinjiang separatist forces” responsible for the terrorist attack at Kunming Railway Station in southwest China on Saturday evening that killed at least 29 people and left more than 130 wounded. Meng Jianzhu, a member of China’s Politburo, said the “inhuman” attackers would face the “severe punishment of the law.” Authorities said a group of knife-wielding terrorists went on the rampage in a “premeditated” attack at the railway station. Police shot four attackers dead and captured one, Xinhua reported, adding that about five others were still at large. Beijing has faced simmering unrest from separatists in Xinjiang, a predominantly Muslim region in China's far west, for several years.

[Anglojew]

It's now confirmed it was Muslims although the biased news report I saw called them "militants from the north-west provinces" code of Uighur. No mention of the I or M words on the Lamestream media of course.

[silver_surfer]

In 2008 Tibetan unrest, 10 people were burned to death by rioters. I blamed the Chinese government who are crushing the culture of Uyghurs and Tibetans people. The active policy of the chinese government is to dilute the culture of both the Uyghurs and the Tibetans. Han Chinese are encouraged to migrate to Tibet and Xinjiang province, making the Uyghur and Tibetan minorities in their respective provinces as well as minorities in their respective countries.

Of course, a Muslim would say that.

I am just trying to be honest. :D But violence is not the answer. What they did is wrong. If they did it.

Don't worry, China will crack down on them in only a way that China can. They don't do political correctness.

[Prisoner Of Ice]

banning guns makes it worse because it makes it very easy for groups of combatants to win over any individual or random group. So gangs of thugs can easily take on whoever they want with zero fear, and they will just murder murder murder and rape rape rape just like in south africa. And that's what elites want to happen to their subjects, so they can take their stuff.

True. What's funny is the reaction from jihadists is always the same (regardless) eg violence against civilians.

They don't realize the reality, that it's all spit in the wind. Unless they get the whole muslim population to suicide bomb it won't do anything, and if they do then the west will resort to genocide so...what's the point? I always wondered what these silly retards are thinking, they seem to live in a fantasy land.

Against china it's even more laughable. A few dozen of 1.3 billion are killed, when probably 100 died of car accidents on same day.

Yeah. Look at Chechnya. They rebel against Russian rule so Russia flattened Grozny.

or Maybe they believe that by killing infidels they can go directly to heaven and have many beautiful wives wait on them up there.

[zhaoyun]

It's obvious this is the work of Uighur radicals. Pretty gruesome.

[haidian]

The tragedy happened in Yunnan and where gets hurt most is Xinjiang.Now all across the nation,people through social network Weibo and Wechat call for national unity. Many Uighurs posted open letters on the internet showing solidarity with the victims and denounced the atrocity.

Yunnan?

[haidian]

Yunnan is a Chinese province bordering Myanmar and Vietnam. Kunming,where the attack happened,is the capital city of Yunnan.

This is not about religion

but people here prefer propaganda over facts ..

1000th repeeat of a fabricated story won't make it real.This is not a damn Islamic fight .This is about Chinese invasion and exploit of lands of others.
Some of them are Muslim ,some are not, that is very irrelevant .It is also a defend of Mother Earth which is sacred -for most of us ,not human built mosques but trees mountains rivers .

Besides you don't have to support China government because you like Chinese people .China government is not treating nice to her own people either.I am Turkish I also hate my government.





I am truly sorry for people died there ..
