Mystery needle attacks appeared to spread outside China's far western region as authorities arrested nine new suspects in three cities, officials said Friday. The concern about needle attacks in Beijing have led to warnings that websites are not to report on any such incidents.

The threat of such needle attacks comes as an enormous security blanket has been thrown across Beijing to ensure that a huge military parade to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Communist Party rule passes off without a hitch on October 1.
Indications that the bizarre attacks may have extended from the mostly Muslim, riot-torn region of Xinjiang to Beijing came in the form of directives from internet service providers to clients to prevent any mention of such violence on websites.
Managers of websites said that they received notification today to delete any discussion or mention of syringe stabbings in Beijing as soon as these are spotted.
