Six wounded in knife attack at Chinese train station: police
BEIJING, May 06, 2014 (AFP) - Six people were wounded in a knife
attack at a Chinese train station Tuesday, police said, after a string of
violent episodes at transport hubs authorities blame on "terrorists" from the
restive region of Xinjiang.
Police shot one of the attackers at the train station in the southern
metropolis of Guangzhou, the city's public security bureau said in a statement
on its microblog, adding all six injured had been hospitalised.
Four attackers were involved, the People's Daily newspaper reported on its
verified microblog, adding they were wearing white caps and police opened fire
on them after they ignored warnings.
One of the men died, one was arrested, and two escaped, said the newspaper,
the official mouthpiece of the Communist Party.
The incident comes less than a week after a deadly explosion left two
attackers and a civilian dead, and 79 people wounded, at a railway station in
Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, home to the mostly Muslim Uighur minority.
It also follows a March attack at a railway station in the southwestern
city of Kunming, in which machete-wielding attackers killed 29 people and
wounded 143 in what many in China have dubbed the country's "9/11".
