British Intelligence "Predicted" Xinjiang Uprise

April 11, 2008 (LPAC)--In an article that appeared in The Guardian on April 5, British spy story writer who is clearly doing the bidding of Britain's MI6, Charles Cumming, said by coincidence his new novel, Typhoon, which will be published in June (with two months to go before the Olympics), concerns a plot by "U.S.-sponsored" Uighur radicals to blow up the Beijing Olympic Games. The obvious ploy of Cumming is to implicate the United States in the Uighur plots and keep the focus away from the MI6.

Cumming, an Eton and University of Edinburgh fellow, is widely considered as a MI6 man and hence, he had told the media on another occasion that he was approached by the MI6, but he never joined.

In his Guradian article, he says: "Uighurs have motive, at the very least, for fighting back. On January 5 this year, 18 Uighurs were killed and a further 17 arrested during a raid on what the Chinese described as a "terrorist training camp" in the Pamir mountains. However, many western observers have cast doubt on the veracity of this claim. Just as there has been no proof of the planned attacks on the Olympic Games, the Chinese authorities have yet to produce any evidence which would suggest that the men and women killed in January were terrorists linked to al-Qaeda."

Cumming ignores the fact that 12 Uighurs were held and interrogated in Guantanamo Bay for their al-Qaeda links, and subsequently they were resettled in Bosnia.
