| Al-Qaeda declares war on China
The threat came in the wake of race riots in far West China which claimed the lives of at least 136 Han Chinese and 46 Uighurs.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) said it would target the 50,000 Chinese who are working in Algeria and launch attacks against other Chinese projects in Northern Africa, said Stirling Assynt, which is based in London.
China has repeatedly linked Uighur separatist groups to Al-Qaeda, but this is the first time that the terrorist network has made a direct threat against China or its overseas projects.
Violence in Urumqi flared up again on Monday as Chinese police shot and killed two Uighur men armed with knives and sticks who were attacking another Uighur man, according to an official statement.
Uighur activists have claimed the true number of Uighur casualties has been understated by the Chinese government.
Stirling Assynt said that although AQIM was the first arm to target China, "others are likely to follow". It said that it had monitored an increase in internet "chatter" among possible jihadists about the need to "avenge the perceived injustices in Xinjiang."
"Some of these individuals have been actively seeking information on China's interests in the Muslim world which they could use for targeting purposes," Stirling Assynt said, adding that locations included North Africa, Sudan, Pakistan and Yemen.
Two extremist web sites affiliated with Al-Qaeda noted that large numbers of Chinese work in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. "Chop off their heads at their workplaces or in their homes to tell them that the time of enslaving Muslims has gone," read one posting.
However, the assessment does not link Uighur groups to Al-Qaeda and suggests it is unlikely that the Al-Qaeda leadership would stage attacks inside China.
AQIM, which wants to impose an Islamic state in Algeria, was founded in the mid-1990s and pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden in 2003.
Its numbers appear to have been buoyed by the return of several fighters from Iraq, according to United States officials.
The huge oil and gas reserves in Xinjiang, as well as the web of pipelines that run through the province, funnelling energy from Kazakhstan and Russia all the way to Beijing and Shanghai, make the province vital to China's interests.
However, China's policy of total control has upset Islamic states, especially in the past week. Protesting Muslims in Indonesia called for a jihad against China on Monday, clashing with police outside the Chinese embassy in Jakarta.
Iran and Turkey, both key Chinese allies, have lashed out at Beijing, with Turkey promising to use its temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council to press its case against China.
Over 5,000 people protested in support of the Uighurs in Istanbul on Sunday. In the Gaza Strip, Hamas has also said the unrest would harm China's ties to the Muslim world.
"We hope that the Chinese government improves its relations with the Muslims of the Xinjiang region, and not to harm those relations by harming the Uighurs," said a spokesman.
Stirling Assynt was founded by Karl Barclay, the former head of global security for HSBC. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...ur-deaths.html

well what Al-Qaeda has always been doing is looking for causes to take up arms, and places where they would be welcomed, in this case the Uighur region. Recently they've been pushed into a desperate situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan since all the locals have been turning on them and kicking them out so they've become more desperate killing and terrorizing anything and everything in sight. They're taking heavy losses in those regions right now, and can't survive much longer.
This Uighur cause just like the Tibet cause seem like a righteous one, but the worst absolute thing the Uighurs could do FOR their cause, is welcome the Taliban to their region with open arms. I understand they are pissed at the Chinese anyone would be, but the Uighur leadership would have to be retarded to think rolling with the Taliban would be healthy for their cause.....
first... the Muslim world would turn on them, and second and more dangerously they would really draw the wrath of the Red Chinese Army as they would go off like the Israeli army did in Palestine in their last conflict, just blowing up anything they get their sights on without regard for innocents.

Sad thing is they call themselves "ISLAMIC radicals" but are no way close to being true muslims.

If China seriously declared war on them, they would walk right into Afghanistan and all the other Stans, kill everyone, and install Chinese workers, peasants, governments, and military bases.
I really don't think anyone should be fucking with China at this point.

I was so proud when watching the BBC interview the UK's China Ambassador and the interviewer asked her about the human rights record and she smoothly replied that it was arrogant of the West to label them as such when the majority of their foreign policy moves were "not forthright in coming."
