China says militant plots foiled


The authorities in China say they have foiled two plots - one to crash an airliner, and another targeting the Beijing Olympic Games.
Officials said a plane crew prevented an attempt to crash a flight from Xinjiang province to Beijing on Friday. Two passengers are being questioned.
Another official said a raid that saw two people killed in Xinjiang in January foiled a plot on the Games.
Uighur separatists in Xinjiang have waged an insurgency for many years.
The Chinese authorities accuse them of having links to international terror networks.


Airline officials prevented a plane, coming from Xingjaing, from crashing into the Olympics game sight in Bejing China. Two men are being questioned for more information on this crime. This could help the security in Xingjiang be more monitered.
