China Knife Attack: Uyghur Muslims Commit 'Terrorist Attack' Against Han Authorities, Killing 35 in Western Region (Video)
The official death toll rose to 35 after knife attacks on Chinese authorities in a far-western region which has seen frequent clashes between China's Muslim minority Uyghurs and the ethnic Han majority. Initial reports said that 27 people were killed on Wednesday in the Xinjang region, with state-run media saying that the assailants were wielding knives, launching an early-morning attack targeting police stations, a government building and a construction site, seen as symbols of Han authority and influx in the region.
