AQIM Threatens China

LONDON [MENL] -- For the first time, Al Qaida has threatened to attack China
for its treatment of Muslims.
The Al Qaida Organization in the Islamic Maghreb has warned that it
would attack Chinese interests in wake of a crackdown on the Muslim minority
in Urumqi. The Algerian-based AQIM, which has so far limited operations to
North Africa and parts of Europe, has blamed the Beijing regime for the
detention of nearly 1,000 Uighur Muslims in separatist riots in July.
