China 'warns of hotel attacks

9 November 2005

Chinese police have warned that Islamic militants could be planning an attack on luxury hotels in the coming week, the US embassy in Beijing has said.

The authorities pledged to investigate the threat and take appropriate action, the embassy said in a statement.

The warning comes 10 days before US President George Bush visits Beijing.

China is often accused of exaggerating the threat of Islamic militancy to justify its crackdown on groups such as its Uighur minority.
