BEIJING - Chinese police have cracked a terrorist cell in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, amid worries of such groups penetrating other parts of the country under the guise of religion.
More than 10 members of a group headed by the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) planning attacks countrywide have been detained, with explosives, knives and other weapons seized, Ministry of Public Security spokesman Wu Heping said on Thursday.
