Chinese cops kill three "rioters" in Xinjiang

Chinese police shot dead three "rioters" in the restive Xinjiang region after they resisted arrest, state media reported yesterday, in the second such incident in less than a fortnight. The shooting happened Sunday following a manhunt for three suspected members of a "violent terror group" linked to a 2015 attack in Pishan county, according to the regional government's official Tianshan website.
