A gun battle and attempted tricycle bombing claimed eight lives in western China today in an apparent attempt by Islamic separatist groups to steal global attention from the Beijing Olympics.
Police shot dead seven alleged militants, a security guard was killed and two police cars destroyed in the pre-dawn attack in Kuqa, a city in the Xinjiang region that borders Afghanistan, Pakistan and several other central Asian states.
According to the state news agency, Xinhua, the bombers drove a tricycle laden with explosives into the yard of a police station, wounding two officers. They lobbed homemade explosives at the local office of industry and commerce, officials said.
WTF?! Are you kidding me?
First "female suiciders" and now TRICYCLE BOMBS?

Update:
Please, please look at how the whorish AP describes the tricycle.
The propaganda is UNBELIEVABLE, folks!!!!
"City in China's west locks down after bombings
KUQA, China (AP) — Soldiers with machine guns guarded the sidewalks and police yelled at residents who tried to leave their homes Sunday, hours after officers battled bomb-tossing assailants in the second daring attack in a week in China's restive Muslim territory.
The attackers were able to launch a series of pre-dawn bombings in the rugged Xinjiang region, far from the Beijing Olympics, despite tightened security for the games.
The violence, which police say killed 10 assailants and one security guard, also came just days after a militant Islamic group linked to al-Qaida issued a new warning it would strike during the Olympics.
(Sigh)
No group has claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack in Kuqa county, and police have not released any evidence that a terrorist organization was involved.
In one of the most brazen attacks, the assailants drove a three-wheeled vehicle with explosives into the compound of the public security bureau at about 2:30 a.m., Xinhua reported.
What, with PEDDLES?
Six hours later, police hunted down five attackers who were hiding under a counter in a nearby market, Xinhua said. The men hurled bombs at the police, who fatally shot two of them, while the remaining three killed themselves with their own bombs, the news agency said. One group that might be behind the attacks was the Turkestan Islamic Party, which issued the recent Olympics threat.
Why do I smell a rat, readers?

I think it is REPREHENSIBLE that the US is dicking with the Olympic Games.
I know the Chinese government (like all govts) are a bunch of pricks, but how would you feel if the 'terrorists" ruined YOUR GAMES, shit-chomping 'murkns!!
God, I am so angry about this FALSE-FLAG, AGENDA-PUSHING GARBAGE that we are LIED TO ABOUT by the CRAP MEDIA!!!!!
