Fate of the Uighurs deported by Hun Xen to China?The Associated Press
China says some of the Uighurs who fled to Cambodia after riots that left nearly 200 dead in Xinjiang last year were terrorists.
Public Security Ministry officials told a news conference Thursday that the people were backbone members of a terrorist group which planned and carried out many terrorist attacks in Xinjiang, including one that took place in Kashgar before the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Long-simmering tensions between Uighurs and majority Han Chinese migrants in Xinjiang turned deadly in the capital Urumqi last July 5. Nearly 200 people died in China's worst ethnic violence in decades. Beijing accused overseas organizers of plotting the violence.
