China
was reeling from what was described as a "violent terror attack" on
Saturday in which a knife-wielding gang stabbed 28 people to death and
left scores more injured at a railway station.
State media blamed
the killings at Kunming in Yunnan province, south-west China, on
militants from Xinjiang in the country's restive north-west. "Evidence
at the crime scene showed that the Kunming railway station terrorist
attack was carried out by Xinjiang separatist forces," the Xinhua news
agency said, quoting officials in the city.
Reports said five
attackers were shot dead by police following the incident on Saturday
evening and another five were being hunted. Unverified photographs
circulating on social media appeared to show the blood-soaked bodies of
victims lined up on the floor. Other images showed distraught people
running away from the station and crowds gathering among police officers
and ambulances.
