To our Nazi-Hindu "friends" who show so much "humanitarian" "concern", please get your facts right. This was a terrorist attack instigated from USA (by terrorist granted asylum there). The attackers were terrorists, the victims are innocents. See below for detailed account.

Re: PICS (Warning: Some photos are very graphic)
Here are graphic videos. You have been warned it is very graphic.
And thanks to those who took an OBJECTIVE and CARING stance against this inhumane terrorist genocide. But for the morally-challenged, you should look at victims as human beings, innocent human beings. Don't take side just because of religion or race or ethnicity. Also these Uiyghirs are much closer to "han" than any of the 4-5 Pakistani ethnicities, or any of the myriad "indian" ethnicities.
This is a racist terrorist attack -- simple as that! These genocide commited by terrorists are WORSE than the Taliban have ever committed. Please see the photos, very bloody and graphic (cut up bodies) commited by TERRORISTS.
Remember Karma... what you do will come back to you....
Riot a catastrophe for Xinjiang
Sunday's deadly riot in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region bruised the beautiful city of Urumqi and shocked the world, barely 16 months after the nightmarish Lhasa violence that still clings to many Chinese minds.
"Oops! Not again!" was almost the universal response when news of the unrest came Sunday night, when blood tainted Urumqi, with at least 140 lives lost and more than 800 others injured.
When rioters assaulted innocent people with knives, wooden batons, bricks and stones, smashed vehicles and set fire to buildings and public facilities, we also saw many people of ethnic minority groups extending a helping hand to the victims.
Love and humanity glittered behind the deadly violence: out of human nature, these brave people helped those who were attacked, and stopped passersby from coming too close to the violent scenes.
By their heroic deeds, we hope, these people helped remind the rioters and whoever was behind the violence, that riots would only harm the majority of the people.
History has proven, time and again, that social stability is a blessing and riot a catastrophe. Innocent citizens always suffer the most when stability is shaken, which often leads to social unrest and stagnated economic growth.
National unity and social stability are in line with the fundamental interests of all Chinese people, including the 21 million-plus people from all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.
Given its unique location and demography, the northwestern Chinese region has been a target of separatist and terrorist actions, particularly in the past two years.
On Aug. 4, 2008, just days before the Beijing Olympic Games opened, 17 people were killed and 15 injured in an attack on police by terrorists in Kashgar, Xinjiang. The attack was aimed to sabotage the Beijing Games.
Six days later, a string of explosions in supermarkets, hotels and government buildings rocked the region's Kuqa county, killing a security guard and a civilian and injuring two police officers.
On March 7, 2008, a number of terrorists planned to attack a passenger plane with explosives but were thwarted by police. The attempt was found to be masterminded by Eastern Turkestan separatists from abroad.
Police said that in the first half of 2008, five terrorist rings were busted in Xinjiang and 82 suspected terrorists detained.
Now the three forces of terrorism, separatism and extremism are at work again. An initial investigation showed a separatist group made use of the June 26 brawl involving workers from Xinjiang in a toy factory in the southern Guangdong Province to foment Sunday's unrest and sabotage the country. Behind the scheme was the separatist World Uyghur Congress led by Rebiya Kadeer.
Government investigations indicate that Sunday's unrest was controlled and instigated from abroad.
"It was a crime of violence that was premeditated and organized," said Nur Bekri, chairman of the Xinjiang regional government, in a televised speech Monday morning.
Bekri said that stability was the premise for everything in the region and people should work to maintain the harmonious and stable social and political status -- a result of the long-term efforts by the government and people across the country, "as if protecting your own eyes".
For whoever was behind the riot, or for whatever intentions they had in masterminding the bloodshed, one thing is clear: under no circumstances should slaughters be brooked, violence allowed or national security challenged.

Witnesses' account of Xinjiang riot
Returning to his Geely automobile store, Guo Jianxin was still frightened by the nightmare Sunday.
"Fortunately I managed to leave," said the general manager of the store in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
"It was about 10 p.m. and I found rioters outside," he said. The manager called more than 20 workers from the store, who had already left after a day's work.
"I asked them to help protect the store, but there were too many rioters...more than 100, holding knives, clubs and stones," said Guo, an ethnic Hui.
Failing to dissuade the rioters from entering the store, Guo led his workers to flee. They hid on a hill beside the store.
The three-storey building was ablaze, while more than 30 new cars in the store were all torched. One worker's arm was broken and he was sent to hospital.
Opposite the store was a shop owned by a Han couple. They told Xinhua reporter that they saw rioters on the streets after 10 p.m.,immediately shut the door and escaped.
When they returned, the couple found that their shop was burned, some 20,000 yuan (2,941 U.S. dollars) and a camera in the counter was gone.
But they didn't complain much. Next door, a young worker from the southwestern Sichuan Province was beaten to death.
In the hospital
China is shocked by a death toll of 140 which is still climbing. Rioters also burned 261 motor vehicles, including 190 buses, at least 10 taxis and two police cars, Sunday evening in the city.
The People's Hospital, one of the biggest hospitals in Xinjiang's capital Urumqi, treated 291 riot victims, among whom 17 died later.
Among them, 233 were Han Chinese, 39 were Uygurs, while the rest were from other ethnic minorities like Hui and Kazak, said Wang Faxing, president of the hospital.
In the ICU wards on the 13th floor, more than 20 seriously injured were being treated. They, all in comas, had wounds to the head or the chest and limbs.
Zhu Haifeng is a 16-year-old student from the No. 43 Middle School, who was assaulted on the way home after school. He was knocked on the head and his eyes were swollen.
According to an unnamed doctor, Zhu's parents had been looking for him after the riot, but failed to contact him via mobile phone as the line was cut temporarily.
"When they found their fainted son, they could hardly recognize him," said the doctor.
The 48-year-old Li Quanli with bandages around his head is a police officer. Seeing several Uygur youngsters smashing a No. 7 bus, he hurried to stop them, but was surrounded and beaten.
Scenes witnessed by Xinhua reporters
People began to gather in the Urumqi People's Square at 6:20 p.m. Sunday, and some started smashing and looting at about 8 p.m..
Xinhua reporters saw at about 10 p.m. at the crossing of Xinhua South Road and Tianchi Road that a police station was damaged. A group of young men, appearing to be from ethnic minorities, were chanting slogans and wielding wooden clubs, while several others were distributing hoes.
Then rioters destroyed barriers on the road and began chasing Han Chinese. Many bus windows were smashed. Some Han passengers were surrounded and beaten as soon as they got off the bus. Many were left with blood dripping down their faces.
Under a viaduct on the Tuanjie Road, Xinhua reporters saw a man who had been killed by rioters, and some steps away, a dead woman carrying a handbag lay on her stomach.
They also saw a big wine shop ablaze. In the blaze, window glass blew out, with a loud noise. Later they saw a taxi which had been stopped by rioters, and was now parked on the road. Inside was a Han driver. He was covered in blood. Witnesses couldn't say for sure whether he was alive or dead.
A 36-year-old woman, whose face was covered by blooded, was wailing while running with her daughter and husband. Xinhua reporters sent her to a hospital.
When the armed police finally arrived and brought the riot under control, many onlookers, Hans and Uygurs alike, hurrahed.
Blood-tainted street
Liu Jie is owner of a supermarket in the Houquan street, which lost more than 900,000 yuan in the riot.
In the street, five buses and four cars were burned and a driver was missing, said the lady in her 30s, who was still quivering and crying. Her hands and legs were black from dust and ashes.
"Rioters came at 7:50 p.m....altogether five groups," she said. Next door to the supermarket was a training center. Liu and more than 100 students from the center hid in the basement of the supermarket as rioters were overturning the shelves and smashing bottles.
Then someone set fire to the market, and those in the basement moved to the yard. "We were scared to death," she sobbed. But nobody dared to go out.
At about 2 a.m. Monday when they heard that police enter, they shouted "help" and were rescued.
When they came out, Liu saw many people lying in the street. "Blood was everywhere," she said.
Xinhua reporters saw in the street that wheels of two cars were still on fire as of Monday noon.
Several blocks away in the Zhongquan street, within 100 meters there were more than 20 blood stains and some bricks with blood and hair and something like skin on them.
Pointing at a big pool of blood, Ezmad Abla, vice director of the construction bureau of Tianshan district in Urumqi, said that there was so much blood that if it came from one man then maybe he was dead.
A few meters away from the blood was a burnt tree, under which a car was torched.
"The dead person could be the driver, or just a passer-by," he sighed.
Blogger's photos
A blogger, who claimed to have witnessed the tragedy, posted some photos on China.com.
One of the photos seemed to be the aftermath of the riot. In the dim lamp light, dozens of people were standing, while six or seven people, or bodies, were lying in the road.
On another, a middle-aged man in a white shirt was trying to stop blood bleeding from a young man, who lay on his back on the road with blood on his neck, on his white shirt and on the ground.
Still in anxiety
Although traffic control was lifted Monday morning in parts of Urumqi and debris has been cleared from the roads, residents were still trembling in fear.
In the streets most of the shops were still closed and many chose to stay at home rather than going to work.
"We don't feel safe," said an unnamed woman with a stock company.
A Mr. Zhao in his late 30s worked late on Sunday to send the injured to hospital.
"Although the riot was over, I have unspeakable worry," he said.
His worry was partially from social order. "Is the riot really over?"
Also, he worried about how the government would deal with their losses, as his car was damaged by wooden and steel sticks yielded by rioters.
"Who will compensate us?" he asked.
