BEIJING (Reuters) - China executed two minority Uighurs in restive far-west Xinjiang on Thursday after a court convicted them over a deadly attack on police in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics.
Abdurahman Azat, 34, and Kurbanjan Hemit, 29, were found guilty of a "terrorist attack on a frontier city's border police that left 17 dead", Xinhua news agency said. The attack came despite tightened security ahead of the Summer Games last August.
