>> Omar: ALL RIGHT, VANESSA
LEE IN OTTAWA TONIGHT.
VANESSA, THANKS FOR THIS.
>>> A HORRIFYING STORY FROM
CHINA TONIGHT WHERE AT LEAST 33
PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND MORE THAN A
HUNDRED ARE WOUNDED AFTER A
GROUP OF MASKED MEN ARMED WITH
KNIVES STORMED A POPULAR TRAIN
STATION, STABBING EVERYONE IN
THEIR PATH.
CHINA IS CALLING IT A TERRORIST
ATTACK WITH SOME BLAMING THE
BLOODBATH ON THE MILITANT
SEPARATE GROUP.
CTV'S ASIA BUREAU CHIEF JANIS
MACKEY FRAYER REPORTS.
>> Reporter: THEY BURST INTO
THE TRAIN STATION JUST AFTER 9,
A GROUP ALL DRESSED IN DARK
CLOTHES, ALL WIELDING KNIVES,
ALL DETERMINED TO KILL.
AND THEY DID.
DOZENS DEAD, MORE THAN A HUNDRED
INJURED.
WITNESSES SAY THEY SLASHED AT
WHOEVER THEY SAW.
THE STATION FLOOR SLICK WITH
BLOOD.
HUNDREDS OF POLICE OFFICERS
QUICKLY CONVERGED AND SHOT DEAD
SEVERAL ASSAILANTS.
CHINA'S GOVERNMENT CONDEMNED IT
AS AN ORGANIZED TERRORIST
ATTACK.
IN A STATEMENT, SECURITY
OFFICIALS VOWED ACTION, SAYING
TO SPILL INNOCENT BLOOD IS TO
BECOME AN ENEMY OF ALL DECENCY
UNDER HEAVEN.
THE POLICE WILL RESOLUTELY
STRIKE HARD.
NOBODY IS YET SAYING OFFICIALLY
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE, BUT CITY
AUTHORITIES SAY EVIDENCE POINTS
TO CHINA'S MINORITY UIGHURS AND
IN THE PROVINCE OF XINJIANG.
VIOLENCE THERE HAS ESCALATED.
TWO DOZEN WERE KILLED LAST JUNE.
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWS THE
FIREBOMBING OF A POLICE STATION.
WE GOT GASOLINE, KNIVES, AND
MATCHSTICKS, HUGGED EACH OTHER
GOODBYE AND STARTED THE ATTACK,
SAID THIS MAN, WHO CHINA'S STATE
BROADCASTER CLAIMS WAS A
PERPETRATOR.
AND IN OCTOBER IN BEIJING, A
JEEP SLAMMED INTO A CROWD OF
TOURISTS.
THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES.
OFFICIALS CLAIMED IT WAS THE
WORK OF UIGHURS.
THE MOTIVE IN KUNMING IS STILL
UNCLEAR.
THOSE WHO ESCAPED SAY THE
VIOLENCE WAS INDISCRIMINATE AND
THAT THEY SURVIVED ONLY BECAUSE
THEY COULD RUN.
THIS IS A SENSITIVE TIME HERE.
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF PARLIAMENT
IS SET TO OPEN IN BEIJING NEXT
WEEK.
SECURITY ACROSS THE COUNTRY
TYPICALLY TIGHTE
