KASHGAR, Aug. 1 (Xinhua<\/a>) — A group of religious extremists led by culprits trained in overseas terrorist camps were behind the weekend attack on civilians in China’s far-western Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region<\/a> that left 6 dead and 15 others wounded, the local government said Monday.<\/p>\n

Initial probe has shown that the heads of the group had learned skills of making explosives and firearms in overseas camps of the terrorist group “East Turkistan Islamic Movement<\/a>” (ETIM) in Pakistan before entering Xinjiang to organize terrorist activities, the government of Kashgar City<\/a> said in an online statement.<\/p>\n

Six civilians were killed, 15 others — including three policemen — were injured after attackers set fire on a restaurant and started a killing rampage on civilians in Kashgar on Sunday. Five suspects were shot dead by police.<\/p>\n

The government on Monday also issued arrest warrants on two suspects who fled the scene. The two were identified as 29-year-old Memtieli Tiliwaldi and 34-year-old Turson Hasan. Both are local ethnic Uygurs<\/a> and have primary school education, according to the warrants.<\/p>\n

The police offer 100,000 yuan (15,384 U.S. dollars) for information leading to the arrest of any of the two.<\/p>\n

The Sunday attack was the second violence that erupted in Kashgar over the weekend. On Saturday night, two people hijacked a truck after killing the driver and drove into crowds. The suspects then jumped out of the truck and hacked random bystanders.<\/p>\n

Eight civilians were killed while 27 others were injured. One of the suspect was killed in the clash while the other was apprehended.<\/p>\n

The local government did not specifically call Saturday’s violence a terrorist attack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
