Does any one think this is a seperist movement from china? An attempt by the Xinjiang's Uighurs? Does this mean that China has discovering al Qaeda in its own backyard?
Ps. Sorry for any spelling mistakes.
Several explosions have hit the north-western Chinese province of Xinjiang, state media has reported.
It said there was sporadic gunfire after the blasts, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
Earlier this week, 16 Chinese policemen were killed in an attack on a border post in the province, Xinhua reported.
Xinjiang is home to many Muslim Uighur people. Uighur separatists there have waged a low-level campaign against Chinese rule for decades.
Xinhua news agency said the explosions occurred between 0320 local time (1920 GMT) and 0400 (2000 GMT) in Kuqa, a town in central Xinjiang.
Police are at the scene and have sealed off the area, witnesses said.
The incident comes a day after the Olympic Games opened in Beijing, with a spectacular display of fireworks, music and dancing.
Human rights groups say Beijing is suppressing the rights of Uighurs.
Correspondents say China has spoken in the past of what it calls a terrorist threat from Muslim militants in Xinjiang, but it has provided little evidence to back up its claims.
