Chinese riot police out in force after Xinjiang violence

Businesses remained shuttered Tuesday as riot police patrolled the streets of Kashi (Kashgar), a remote northwestern Chinese city, where at least 14 people were killed in weekend violence blamed on Muslim militants.

The Kashi government blamed the weekend attacks, which also injured 42 people, on religious extremists trained in overseas camps.

However, the Uyghur American Association said China's allegations of terrorism involving Uyghurs are made with "little documentation and without allowing independent scrutiny of such claims."
