China's Xinjiang hit by deadly clashes
The current suggestion that Syrian rebels might have used chemical weapons (why on Earth would they want to, when did these attacks take place, why haven't they been reported except to Carla del Ponte, etc.?) remind me of the propaganda the Chinese government uses to distort reporting of its oppression in Xinjiang.
'Hou Hanmin, director of the Xinjiang government's propaganda department, said Tuesday's clashes began as officials described as community workers searched homes for weapons.
She told the BBC's Chinese service that three of the workers were killed as they were investigating reports of suspicious individuals at the home of a local resident.
Unarmed police then arrived to investigate the workers' earlier reports and were attacked, said Ms Hou. Three "thugs" died and nine police officers were cornered in a house which was then set on fire, she said, calling the incident a "planned terrorist attack" on innocent victims.'
