             China Searches for Suspects in Tiananman Square Crash

   Chinese police are reported to be searching for two suspects from the
   restive Xinjiang region after a sport utility vehicle plowed through
   Beijing`s famed Tiananmen Square and burst into flames Monday, killing
   five people and injuring 38 others.
   Hours after the attack, local hotels said they received a notice from
   Beijing police asking whether they had hosted the two suspects, who had
   names common in ethnic Uighur communities. It was not clear if the
   suspects were among the five dead -- three who were in the vehicle, and
   two who were pedestrians.
   Police say the vehicle was on a busy street near the famous square when
   it veered onto a pedestrian area and crashed, catching fire near an
   iconic picture of Chinese leader Mao Zedong. Several witnesses said
   they heard an explosion before seeing the smoke and flames.
   Authorities descended on the scene shortly after the incident, erecting
   barriers to prevent onlookers and evacuating the highly-sensitive area.
   No word was given about a possible cause, and pictures of the incident
   were quickly deleted from the Chinese microblog site Weibo.
   Tiananmen Square was the scene of the 1989 student-led pro-democracy
   protest that ended in a bloody crackdown by Chinese authorities. It is
   surrounded by the Great Hall of the People, the seat of China`s
   parliament, and the mausoleum that holds the remains of Mao Zedong, the
   founder of Communist China.
