China executes 3 for Kunming attack

China yesterday executed three people for a mass stabbing in Kunming that killed 31 people last year, the country's top court said, with authorities blaming the attack on separatists from mainly Muslim Xinjiang.  The bloodshed in Kunming, in the southwestern province of Yunnan, saw more than 140 people wounded and was dubbed "China's 9/11" by state-run media. Beijing blamed it on "separatists" from the resource-rich far western Xinjiang region, where at least 200 have died in attacks and clashes between locals and security forces over the last year.
