China’s Uighurs Wary, Worried After Attack
KASHGAR, China, Aug. 5 — Fear and caution pervaded the warren of mud-brick homes and shops of this northwestern city’s ethnic Uighur neighborhood Tuesday, a day after an attack on a paramilitary police unit that killed 16 officers. Residents said they feared they would be blamed because the two assailants arrested at the scene were identified by police as Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim minority already subject to strict security measures.
