New attacks in Xinjiang go unclaimed:

“Fresh violence in China’s restive north-west region of Xinjiang has left two police dead and seven injured, officials have said.

There were three fatal attacks on police and government targets just before and during the Olympics - including the worst militant attack in a decade.

Officials gave few details of yesterday’s incident in Jiashi county, 60 miles east of Kashgar. An Uighur exile group said gunfire was heard.

A public security official told the Associated Press news agency that eight Uighurs were involved but only one had been captured.

A hospital in Kashgar said it was treating seven officers, including one with stab wounds, while a Communist party official in Jiashi county said two police had died.”
