Chinese group 'threatens Olympics'

A video purportedly from an armed group based in western China has released a video threatening an attack on the Olympic games in Beijing, according to a US internet-monitoring group.

The video, reported by the IntelCenter and SITE groups on Thursday, shows graphics of an explosion over a venue and a burning Olympics logo.

"Do not stay on the same bus, on the same train, on the same plane, in the same buildings, or any place the Chinese are," the SITE intelligence group quoted TIP as saying in a video entitled "Call to the Global Muslim Nation".

The video, dated August 1, follows the posting of a similar video in July, in which a group calling itself the Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) claimed responsibility for bus bombings in Shanghai and Kunming, capital of the southwestern province of Yunnan.

However, Chinese officials dismissed those claims.

The comments on the online video were in the Turkic language of the Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim people in western China.

In the new video, the speaker "describes the barbarism exhibited by China towards Muslims and East Turkistan, justiying the jihad that is declared against the communist regime," SITE said. 

The Washing ton-based group said that in the earlier video TIP had treatened attacks on the Beijing games and urged Muslims to stay away.

At least 16 police officers were killed in an attack in the city of Kashgar in Xinjiang on Monday.

More than 100,000 soldier have been deployed to provide security in the capital Beijing and other cities hosting Olympic events... ...            Oh, it's very alarming!!!
