A deadly mortar attack in northwestern China has stirred up fear of attacks during the Olympic Games in Beijing. However, whether the Games are really in danger is a highly disputed matter.
According to Chinese authorities, the attack in the Muslim region of Xinjiang, which killed 16 police officers on Monday, Aug. 4, was carried out by terrorists. This is the second attack of this kind in Xinjiang in the past two weeks. Now the question is: How concerned should the world be of an attack during the Olympics.
Terrorism is the biggest threat during the Games, Rohan Gunaratna, one of Singapore's most prominent terrorism experts, told the Chinese daily Straits Times.
Tens of thousands of Chinese supporters greeted the Olympic torch as it entered Beijing's Forbidden City on Wednesday after a six-continent tour dogged by pro-Tibet protesters until the very end.
As the Olympic torch made its way through Beijing, police detained two British and two American protesters who breached tight security near Beijing National Stadium and unfurled a banner calling for a free Tibet.
i don't think they created anything, if anyone created terrorism it was Muslims themselves.
