[quote] A group of knife-wielding men attacked a train station in southwestern China on Saturday, killing at least 29 people and injuring more than 130 others in what Chinese officials called a terrorist strike, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Four of the attackers were also shot dead and only one was captured alive after the mayhem, which broke out about 9 p.m. (8 a.m. ET) at the Kunming Railway Station in the capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province.
The Kunming government said the "serious violent terrorist attack was planned and organized by Xinjiang separatist forces," Xinhua reported.
Ethnic Turkish Uighur separatists have been sporadically fighting for an independent state in Xinjiang, in northwestern China, home to about 10 million Uighur, who are predominantly Muslim. More than 100 people have been killed in protests in Xinjiang in the past year.[/quote]
I didn’t even know China had separatists working to create separate states for themselves.

Edited by Thesmartcreeper: 2/19/2018 10:36:01 PMHappened 4 years ago and was an extremist terrorist group. Imagine that group with guns?
-
News flash it’s easier to kill someone with a gun then it is a knife. The more you know...
-
Pretty sure a group of men with guns would have killed way more, but w/e.
-
The NRA terroist that shot up Vegas killed 58 by himself.
-
Well damn knifes a dangerous as hell in confined spaces
-
Good thing they didn't have guns, many more would have been killed
-
Now imagine... men with [i]swords[/i]
-
Epic fail. A GROUP of men with knives. Imagine that same group with [i]guns.[/i] [spoiler]you tried.[/spoiler]
-
This happened 4 years ago but don't let that hold you back OP. Why didn't you mention that, not suspicious at all... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Kunming_attack Imagine the same group with easily obtainable (in the USA) assault rifles?
-
Man liberals want the government to control everything!
-
What an inefficient way of killing. It took a group of men to only kill and injure that many people. A single man with a gun could have done the job
-
If they shot four of them, that means there must have been more. Remind me again, how many people did one guy kill with a rifle in law Vegas?
-
That’s horrible. I hope those that are injured recover soon.

Edited by Solarvoidlock: 2/18/2018 10:58:49 AMI thought everyone in China knows how to kung fu. Should have k.o.'ed the attackers within seconds! Ah wait, the attackers knew kung fu too PLUS had knives. Now it makes sense.

I know dynasty warriors 9 just came out but cmon
-
Huh, and if 1 or 2 bystanders had guns this wouldn’t have happened... maybe a few injuries and the people with the knives would be deded but that’s all
-
We need knife control
-
Hey I guess the United States and China aren’t so different after all. The U.S. has weak gun control; any one in China with a knife longer than 10 inches makes you a threat. So if I bring my katanas to China and have it out in public does that me infamous?

Edited by Element Ninja: 2/18/2018 2:48:25 AMThis is normal in China...
-
Make killing illegal. Then people won’t do it anymore. Oo

The power saving lord.

Edited by SinisterSmile: 2/18/2018 12:34:33 AMSo this group basically walked out into the street and started swinging their arms around?
-
Old news.
