140 killed in Xinjiang violence

140 people have been killed and more than eight-hundred injured during violence in Urumqi, the capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. That's according to Xinjiang Public Security Department, which says the death toll is likely to climb.

Local government authorities say a separatist group masterminded Sunday's violence, aiming to sabotage the country.

Rioters took to the street of Urumqi on Sunday evening(5th July, 2009).

They began by gathering, marching and demonstrating which then culminated in violent acts.

An initial investigation shows the violence was masterminded by the separatist group -- World Uyghur Congress.

The group is led by Rebiya Kadeer -- a former Chinese businesswoman.

The group has recently been instigating unrest via the Internet and by other means calling on the rioters "to be braver" and "to do something big."

The Xinjiang regional government says terrorism, separatism and extremism... are behind the violence.

The Xinjiang regional government also says instigators began spreading information on the Internet on Saturday evening, calling for a demonstration in Urumqi.

And they say, on Sunday Rebiya called on her accomplices in the country to further incite unrest.

Regional government authorities say the situation is now under control.

Regional government authorities say police have arrested several hundred participants, including more than ten key figures who fanned the unrest. Police say they are still searching for about 90 other key figures behind the unrest.

Check your words before you blame "dicecap". Note Uygur people are not the target for you to shoot. They are human beings.You say China is the history of slaughter - that is why Western

media are suspicious of Chinese behavior.
