Al Qaeda threatens Beijing

The most famous terrorist organization called the China's Uighur jihad against China

Jahija Abu al-Liby, one of the leaders of Al Qaeda, called on China's Uighur to prepare for "holy war" against the government of the People's Republic of China. "There is no other road to redemption and the elimination of oppression and tyranny, until ... you seriously do not prepare for jihad and raise arms against the unscrupulous, hostile bandits," he said in a video message in Arabic language, which was left on one Islamist website.

Uyghur people are a Muslim group in the western Chinese province Sinđijang by some Islamists called East Turkestan.

Call Al Qaeda was followed by a reaction to the violence that has shaken Ürümqi in July, the capital of the province Sinjđijang, when the hostility between the Uighur minority and majority Han Chinese people escalated into violence which killed 200 people and injured thousands of them.

Beijing has accused members of the Uyghur people living abroad are provided compatriots to attack the Chinese, and Ürümqi is therefore introduced curfew. During the following months a series of incidents in which they used engine caused increased tension in the province.

"We heard that the then events in Turkestan are not random and that did not happen over night. This is a common response to decades of repression, organized ethnic cleansing and systematic repression, which is a lot of people," said al-Libi. He also said that this "is not the first elevation of oppressed Muslims, since they had long been struggling to preserve their identity under the aggressor."

Al-Liby, who is considered one of the main strategists Al-Qaeda and people in charge of propaganda, and earlier in the video message urged Muslims to revolt. That said Pakistanis and Somalis to resist their "infidel" governments. In the last message, al-Libi calls Muslims worldwide to support Uyghur, warning the Chinese that will pass just as the Soviet Union during the invasion of Afghanistan, when the Mujahideen managed to inflict a heavy blow to the Soviets.

The leader of the Islamic parties in Tukistanu earlier in one of the Islamic websites accused China of "genocide.", Saying that the Uyghur "kill the Chinese Communists wherever you find them." Chinese authorities have sent a request earlier understanding of the Islamic world after al-Qaeda threatens revenge for the death of 46 Muslim Uyghur people during the July violence in Ürümqi.

Representatives of the African branch of Al Qaeda claimed in July to keep Shooter 50,000 Chinese workers in Algeria and other countries in the north of the continent. Two extremist Web site linked to Al Qaeda, are also threatened violence against the Chinese in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.

"We will cut off their hands in the workplace or at home to their attention that the repression of Muslims has long been completed," stated one of these sites.

It was the first time that one of the terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda threatened to China, stating that will pay a high price because of the riots in Ürümqi, when he killed at least 136 Han Chinese and Uyghur 46.
