URUMQI: A crowd of protestors surrounded a group of foreign journalists in Xinjiang's capital Urumqi Tuesday morning, shouting slogans and creating a chaos two days after a riot killed 156 people and injured more than 1,000.
A regional government spokesman said the foreign journalists, about 60 in number, were in Xinjiang on a reporting trip arranged by the government.
He said the exact number of the protestors, most of whom seemingly Uygurs, was not immediately known. "But about 1,000 people were watching the scene."
