ISIS threatens China for the first time

[xyxmt]

A recent news item. I'm wondering what the professed aficionados of 'self-determination' and 'freedom-fighters' will have to say about this.

you cant hide behind these kind of news

 

[Place Of Space]

ISIS still exists? I have not heard any news about them for quite a long time.

 

[pzkilo]

Is there official news about it? Any link from China official. If it is real so mossad and CIA enterprise limited are going to do the worst mistake in their caves. I hope China should be aware that ISIS actually mean Israel State of International Slaughter.

Did u mean a link for this news?

The thing is, should the authorities catch them at the airport or wherever, the rest is history. Goodluck with them coming back.

These ISIS "fighters" are a joke. The Kurdish female soldiers are kicking their *** and took back many former ISIS occupied territories. I don't think Chinese officials are losing sleep by a threat from a rag tag army

The brainwashed Uyghurs who picked the wrong path shall experience what it feels like to be hunted down as stray dogs.

Where are the Kurdish men though?? Oh, they're in Turkey wishing to take Anatolian lands lol

Unlike weak and messed-up western countries, China is a tough and well controlled country. Terrorists like places with "freedom" ,"human right",“equality”,"compassion" ...stuff . Things unfortunately China doesn't offer to them.

Agree. On the contrary, China may capitalize on this opportunity for real-situation combat training on low-intensity warfare. I wish PLA Rocket Force never do such thing, but it could be made useful for PLA conventional troops.

HIGHLIGHTS

• This is for the first time that Uighur-speaking militants have claimed allegiance to ISIS
• China has for years blamed exiled Uighur "separatists" for a series of violent attacks in its Xinjiang region.
• Chinese authorities have already strengthened controls and anti-terrorist rhetoric.

BEIJING: Islamic State militants from China's Uighur ethnic minority have vowed to return home and "shed blood like rivers", according to a jihadist-tracking firm, in what experts said marked the first IS threat against Chinese targets.

The threat came in a half-hour video released Monday by a division of the Islamic State in western Iraq and featuring militants from China's Uighur ethnic group, said the US-based SITE Intelligence Group, which analysed the footage.

China has for years blamed exiled Uighur "separatists" for a series of violent attacks in its western Xinjiang region - the Uighur homeland - and warned of the potential for militants to link up with global jihadist groups.

In the video, a Uighur fighter issued the threat against China just before executing an alleged informant.

"Oh, you Chinese who do not understand what people say! We are the soldiers of the Caliphate, and we will come to you to clarify to you with the tongues of our weapons, to shed blood like rivers and avenging the oppressed," according to SITE's translation.

A traditionally Muslim group, many Uighurs complain of cultural and religious repression and discrimination by China.

It appears to be the Islamic State's "first direct threat" against China, Dr. Michael Clarke, an expert on Xinjiang at the National Security College of Australian National University, told AFP.

"It is the first time that Uighur-speaking militants have claimed allegiance to IS," he added.

The video showed China is now "very firmly a target of jihadist rhetoric," Clarke said, marking a shift from years past when it rarely figured in statements by global jihadist groups.

But Clarke said it also could indicate a possible split among Uighur fighters, as it includes a warning to those fighting with the al Qaeda-aligned Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) in Syria.

China's foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Wednesday that he had not seen the video but noted that "East Turkestan terrorist forces have been posing a severe threat to China's security," referring to Xinjiang militants.

He called for international cooperation "to combat such terrorist forces."

China maintains tight security in Xinjiang but a drumbeat of deadly unrest has continued. A knife attack last month left eight dead, including three attackers, police said.

The video was released on the same day China staged the latest in a series of mass rallies by armed police in Xinjiang meant to indicate Chinese resolve in crushing security threats.

More than 10,000 officers gathered Monday in the regional capital Urumqi - the fourth such show of force this year in Xinjiang.

Chinese authorities also have strengthened controls and anti-terrorist rhetoric.

In one violence-wracked corner of Xinjiang, authorities are offering rewards of up to 5 million yuan ($730,000) to those who expose terror plots or "kill, wound, or subdue" any attackers.

The Islamic State video showed fighters, including heavily armed children, giving speeches, praying, and killing other "informants".

[neem456]

ISIS will do nothing to china. Coz china has a soft corner for terrorists, which is why they keep blocking the bids to ban terorists in UN.
