BEIJING (AP) — Two men rammed a dump truck into a group of jogging policemen and then tossed explosives into their barracks Monday, killing 16 officers in a restive Chinese province bordering Central Asia, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.

The attack in Xinjiang province came just four days before the start of the Beijing Olympics — an event that has put security forces nationwide on alert and that at least one militant Muslim group has vowed to disrupt. Xinhua, citing local police, called it a "suspected terrorist attack."

Meanwhile, about 20 people angry about being evicted from their homes in central Beijing demonstrated Monday not far from Tiananmen Square, saying the Olympics should not curb their legal rights.

The attackers in Xinjiang struck at 8 a.m., plowing into the policemen performing their morning exercises outside a hotel next to their paramilitary border patrol post in Kashgar, Xinhua said.

After the truck hit an electrical pole, the pair jumped out, threw homemade explosives at the barracks and "also hacked the policemen with knives," the report said.

Fourteen died on the spot and two others en route to a hospital, while at least 16 others were wounded, Xinhua said.

Police arrested the two attackers, one of whom had a leg injury, the report said.

The attack was one of the deadliest and most brazen in recent years in Xinjiang province, where local Muslims have waged a sporadically violent rebellion against Chinese rule.

These fucking muslims are dicking with every country and culture on earth. I hope they piss the Chinese off to the point where they get on board fighting them.

In my opinion, islam is a barbaric, connived, worthless religion of violence, domination and death, and we ought to wipe it off the face of the earth.
