Chinese terror suspects in Albanian refugees center (Reuters) Updated: 2006-05-13 11:41
Two of five Chinese suspects, released
from the US-run Guantanamo prison, walk in an Albanian refugees center in Tirana
May 12, 2006. The Chinese government has demanded immediate return of five
Chinese nationals who are by no means refugees but terrorist suspects, said
Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao. The five from Northwest China's
Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are suspected of being members of the East
Turkistan Islamic Movement. They were held in Guantanamo for several years
after being picked up during the US invasion of Afghanistan following the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. [Reuters]
