An Islamist militant group called the Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) claimed responsibility for a bomb attack at a train station in China's western city of Urumqi in late April that killed one person and injured 79, the Site Monitoring service said.

...

Site, which tracks Islamist militant statements, said TIP had released a 10-minute video in the Uighur language showing the construction of a briefcase bomb it said was used in the station attack.

"A fighter is shown placing the explosive material and shrapnel of bolts inside a box, then inserting the detonation device in a briefcase with the explosive, and leaving the trigger exposed in an outside pocket," Site said of the video.

It said the video had been produced by the TIP's Islam Awazi Media Centre and posted on its website on 11 May.

Beijing says it faces a threat from militant Islamists in Xinjiang who want an independent state called East Turkestan. Authorities say many have links with foreign groups.

...

The TIP, which China equates with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), keeps a low profile in Pakistan.

Why does China even want Turkistan? Do they have oil or minerals?
