四 反恐
The three remaining suspects wanted in connection with Saturday's Kunming
terrorist attack have been arrested, the Ministry of Public Security said on
Monday, as a call was made for a national law to combat terrorism.
A group of eight wielding large knives killed 29 people and injured more
than 140 at Kunming Railway Station in Yunnan province.
Four male suspects were shot dead and one woman was arrested at the scene.
The remaining two men and one woman were arrested on Monday afternoon, police
said, without providing details.
The attack has been widely condemned by the international community,
Chinese officials, political advisers and lawmakers, with at least one lawmaker
saying a national anti-terror law should be enacted.
"China urgently needs a comprehensive national law to combat terrorist
attacks, as threats from terrorists, especially those based in Central Asia,
have become extremely serious," said Nayim Yasen, a deputy from the Xinjiang
delegation to the National People's Congress.
Nayim Yasen will submit a motion to this effect to the National People's
Congress, the country's top legislature, whose annual session begins in Beijing
on Wednesday.
Xinjiang has begun preparations to introduce a regional anti-terrorism
regulation, said Nayim Yasen, who is also president of Xinjiang Regional High
Court.
The Party chief of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region said on Monday that
the anti-separatism battle is tougher than ever.
"We should realize that the revival of religious extremism internationally
has contributed to the complicated anti-terrorism situation in China," Zhang
Chunxian said at a meeting of the Xinjiang delegation to the 12th NPC. "It has
caused many terrorist attacks around the world."
He said Xinjiang, which borders Central Asian countries including
Afghanistan, remains the main battleground and front line in the terrorism
fight.
The Internet has become a new battlefield, as most of the terrorists
involved in recent incidents have been influenced by information online, he
added.
China's top leaders, including President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang,
joined some 2,200 political advisers in a minute's silence at the opening
ceremony of the annual session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference in Beijing on Monday.
Nur Bekri, chairman of Xinjiang, said, "The attack in Kunming will unite
Chinese people to fight terrorism."
Saimati Muhammat, a major general and deputy commander of the Xinjiang
Military Area Command, said counterterrorism arrangements are in place to
prevent serious incidents in Xinjiang.
The armed forces in Xinjiang will never ease up on border controls, said
Muhammat, who is also a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC.
He said Xinjiang has been upgrading supplies for border troops and has
stepped up counterterrorism training for armed forces, especially special
forces.
"The fight ... is not about ethnic issues, religion or cultural
differences. They (terrorists) are enemies of people from all ethnic groups," he
said. "The battle is complicated, harsh, fierce and cruel."
The National People's Congress expressed the strongest condemnation against
Saturday's attack at Kunming Railway Station and the deepest grief for the dead,
said Fu Ying, spokeswoman for the second session of the 12th NPC, which is
scheduled to convene on Wednesday.
"We also pray for the wounded who are still in hospital and pay respect to
those who bravely fight the terrorists," she said.
