China sentences three to death for Tiananmen attack - CCTV

BEIJING: -- Three people were sentenced to death Monday over a deadly suicide car crash in Beijing's symbolic heart Tiananmen Square, state-run media said, in China's latest move against militants from restive, mainly-Muslim Xinjiang, AFP reports.

One other person was given life in prison for the "violent terrorist attack" that killed two tourists last October, state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) said, citing the Intermediate People's Court in the Xinjiang capital Urumqi.

CCTV identified two of the accused with names that sounded Uighur, the largest ethnic group in the violence-racked region.

Four others were given sentences ranging from five to 20 years, CCTV said.

All three people in the car - a man, his wife and his mother - died in the attack, which saw their vehicle plough into crowds of tourists, killing two and wounding 40 other people before bursting into flames, authorities said at the time.

"All three people in the car - a man, his wife and his mother - died in the attack, which saw their vehicle plough into crowds of tourists, killing two and wounding 40 other people before bursting into flames, authorities said at the time."

OK, so the terrorists in the car died in the attack. So who/why were the other people sentenced to death?

And the sentences for the authorities and armed forces who massacred thousands of peaceful demonstrators in Tiananmen Square in June 1989?

Wot? So, three already dead people get a death sentence? Or is it three other ones who are not mentioned further? Thanks to the Voice of Russia: My Brain Hurts!
