Xinjiang attacks ********************* At least 15 people have been killed and 14 others injured during an attack in the far western Chinese region of Xinjiang. A group of terrorists attacked civilians in Shache county. Xinjiang is home to the Muslim Uighur minority group. There has been a wave of violence in the region, with more than 150 people being killed so far this year. China has blamed the unrest on Uighurs pushing for the regions independence. The fresh unrest underscores the deterioration of the situation in Xinjiang, where Beijing has launched a severe crackdown in recent months with dozens of executions officially announced and hundreds of arrests.
