@ Rahul Indian,
Before making any further comments on the condition of our Uighur brothers, please read the news carefully.
Police officers killed in China were ethnic Uighurs

BEIJING Two police officers who were killed and five who were wounded in an ambush in western China on Aug. 27 were ethnic Uighurs searching for a woman who they thought might have been involved in an earlier attack, said a police officer in the village where the ambush took place.
The attackers were also Uighurs, a Muslim Turkic group common throughout the western region of Xinjiang. Brandishing knives, the attackers set upon a group of unarmed police officers as they were walking through a cornfield in the village of Qizilboy, said the police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not have permission to talk to reporters.
The violence against the police suggested that some of the violence in Xinjiang could be aimed at Uighurs seen by other Uighurs as collaborators with the ethnic Han Chinese, who make up the leadership of the Communist Party and govern the region.
Many Uighurs resent rule by the Han Chinese and advocate greater political freedom and economic benefits, or even an entirely independent Uighur-run nation.
But some Uighurs have also benefited from policies put in place by the Communist Party, including many who work in the security forces or in the local government.
Two days after the attack, police officers shot and killed six suspects and arrested three near the Silk Road oasis town of Kashgar, also in western Xinjiang, according to a report Saturday by the official Xinhua news agency.
The nine suspects were linked both to the Aug. 27 attack and to one on Aug. 12, Xinhua reported. In the Aug. 12 incident, attackers armed with knives killed three security officers and wounded one at a road checkpoint in the town of Yamanya, about 100 kilometers, or 60 miles, east of Kashgar.
Some reports have said the victims of the earlier attack were also Uighurs.
The police officer in Qizilboy village, who was interviewed Tuesday by telephone, declined to give further details about the woman the police were seeking in the cornfield.
A detailed report by Radio Free Asia, a radio station that promotes democracy and is financed by the U.S. government, said last week that the female suspect was named Anargul, 22, and was suspected of aiding the people who carried out the attack in Yamanya. The report said that Anargul is the daughter of Amangul, 50, a woman who was arrested after that attack.
There are signs women are playing a prominent role in the violence unfolding in Xinjiang. On Aug. 10, a 15-year-old girl was wounded while throwing an explosive in the western town of Kuqa, Xinhua reported. That day, a series of assaults and bombings took place across Kuqa, killing two people and wounding five.
It was unclear whether all the violence was related and part of a larger pattern, or whether it was being carried out by separate groups. The government has not pointed to a specific group as being responsible for the most recent attacks, in Yamanya and Qizilboy.
Officials in Kashgar attributed a deadly attack that took place in that town on Aug. 4 to two Uighurs who the officials said were linked to the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a group that advocates independence in Xinjiang and supposedly has a base in Pakistan.
The group, which calls itself the Turkestan Islamic Party, issued videos threatening the Olympic Games that ended on Aug. 24.
The Aug. 4 assault in Kashgar left 16 paramilitary police officers dead and 16 wounded after the two suspects rammed a truck into the officers and then attacked them with homemade explosives and knives.
Some outside scholars and Uighur exiles said the Chinese government was intent on painting much of the recent violence as part of a surge in terrorism to justify a crackdown across Xinjiang.
Some added that the violence could be rooted in criminal activities or revenge and not part of an organized campaign.
