Six 'Mobsters' Killed by Police in China's Xinjiang: Report

Beijing: Chinese police have killed six "mobsters" in the troubled western region of Xinjiang, state news agency Xinhua said on Monday, the latest violence to rock the area in recent years.

The brief, one-line report did not give details.

The government has blamed the trouble in Xinjiang on separatists from the Uighur ethnic minority, most of whom are Muslim, who it says want to form an independent country called East Turkestan.
