"A knife-wielding gang attacked a police station and government offices in Shache county, Xinhua news agency said.
Police shot dead many attackers, it said, and "dozens" of Uighur and Han Chinese civilians were killed or hurt.

According to Xinhua, the gang began their attack in the township of Elixku before moving to another nearby settlement, attacking civilians and vehicles on the way.
"Police officers at the scene shot dead dozens of members of the mob," the report added."
World peace, they said
