                  China Calls for More Anti-Terror Cooperation

   by VOA News

   China is calling for more international anti-terrorism cooperation
   following last month's deadly incident in Tiananmen Square.
   The SITE monitoring service http://news.siteintelgroup.com/ , which
   tracks militant Islamic forums, said late last week that the Turkestan
   Islamic Party posted an audio speech in which its purported leader,
   Abdullah Mansour, warned of more attacks against China
   Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang responded Monday by saying the
   speech proves the terrorist nature of the organization and makes the
   truth clear about the incident in Tiananmen Square.
   He added the Turkestan Islamic Party is actually the East Turkestan
   Islamic Movement [ETIM], which Beijing has blamed for the incident.
   Last month, China called it an act of terror when three minority
   Uighurs from western China's autonomous Xinjiang region rammed a car
   into an entrance of the Forbidden City and set the vehicle on fire,
   killing themselves and two pedestrians.
   China has blamed ETIM for a series of attacks on government targets in
   Xinjiang in recent years.
   Ethnic Uighur groups say Beijing is exaggerating the ETIM terror threat
   in order to justify its harsh policies against minority Uighurs, some
   of whom complain of government discrimination against their Islamic
   religion and culture.
