" 'All terrorists were killed on the 56th day of a "pursue and attack" operation' in the region, China’s Ministry of Public Security announced in a Nov. 14 statement published on its website, referring to the action as a 'great victory in the War on Terror.'
"While the announcement, which was removed shortly after it was posted, did not link the “terrorists” to a specific act, the length of the operation it referred to suggested it had been launched in the aftermath of a Sept 18 attack at the Sogan Colliery in Aksu (in Chinese, Akesu) prefecture’s Bay (Baicheng) county 新疆维吾尔自治区 阿克蘇地區 拜城县.
My comment:
(a) It is 12 noon EST, Wednesday (Nov 18). So far, only the English, not Chinese, channel of RFA has reported the news.
(b) "Aksu (in Chinese, Akesu) prefecture’s Bay (Baicheng) county."
