Photos of Kashgar on police/security lockdown (along with incredible quote)

Several knife-wielding men attacked this restaurant.  The owner, a waiter, and four others were killed.

Here is a curious quote from a recent Economist article.

Tang Lijiu of Urumqi’s East-West Economic Research Institute says that creating the right kind of jobs for Uighurs is the key. “Because of their lifestyle, asking them to go into big industrial production, onto the production line: they’re probably not suited to that,” says Mr Tang, who is Han Chinese. Better, he suggests, to develop something like, well, basketball. That, Mr Tang says, might work in the same way that America’s National Basketball Association creates “more job opportunities for blacks”.
