- 8 years ago
The Turkish army announced that of the 913 Islamic State terrorists captured illegally crossing the border with Syria since January 2015, the vast majority have been Chinese Muslims.
A full 324 of the jihadists were from China, the Turkish Hurriyet Daily News reported Friday, apparently indicating the separatist Sunni Muslim Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, who have conducted numerous attacks there including with guns and explosives.
Just this January, China reported that 300 citizens, most of them likely Uyghurs, had gone to join ISIS in Syria and Iraq via Malasyia.
