Survivors recall moments in Urumqi market attack

Four days after Zhai Jing was badly injured in a severe terrorist attack targeting shoppers at a local open-air market in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, she still suffers from continuous headaches. The bloody scene keeps haunting her.

Zhai, 46, was being treated at the orthopedics department of Xinjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, the nearest to the market where the attack happened. Her right leg was wrapped in thick bandages, and she was waiting for surgery on Sunday.

"All I can remember is that I was knocked down by the blast from the explosions, and when I woke up, I was shocked to find out that I had been thrown to the other side of the street," she said.
