Chinese authorities said that the terrorists killed and captured by security forces in Xinjiang in January had been preparing to attach an Olympics venue. Other officials reported that airline employees and security forces had blocked an attempt two days ago to destroy a plane bound for Beijing.

In the January 27 Urumqi raid, two were killed and fifteen captured. They had resisted the security forces and five officers were injured by homemade grenades. Chinese state media said the group was affiliated with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement. Wang Lequan, Xinjiang police chief, speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing National People's Congress, said, "Obviously, the gang had planned an attack targeting the Olympics."

Nur Bekri, head of the Xinjiang government, spoke about the March 7 plane incident. The crew, he said, prevented the attack. Suspects were being held, but Nur Bekri said he could not identify them or discuss their background. He insisted, however, "[W]e can be sure that this was a case intending to create an air crash."
