7 killed including 1 suspect, 1 injured, 5 arrested July 9, 2014 6 Han Farmers Killed in Xinjiang  Six Chinese Han farmers were stabbed and killed while another woman was injured by a team of eight Uyghur attackers. Security personnel shot dead one and five suspects in Uchturpan county in Xinjiang province. Uyghur residents blame discrimination as Han Chinese make up less than 5 percent of the village population in Uchturpan, but own nearly 50 percent of the total land. Others believe the home invasions seek to sow terror among Han who have moved into the region.

6 Farmers Killed in Attack in Xinjiang  NYTimes In the latest outbreak of violence in the western Chinese region of Xinjiang, assailants have stabbed to death six ethnic Han farmers in a late-night spate of home invasions that appear to be part of a slow-burn effort to sow terror among migrants to the region, Radio Free Asia reported on Monday.

Like most recent incidents of ethnic bloodletting, news of the attack was quickly removed from the Internet in China. But Radio Free Asia, quoting local police officials, said that seven men were involved in the killings, which took place on Wednesday in Uchturpan, known in Chinese as Wushi, a rural county in Aksu Prefecture that has been the scene of deadly clashes between the police and ethnic Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking people who are predominantly Muslim.
