Jeff, allow me to explain a little while it may sounds like propaganda... well, you get BS from most US sources anyway, so it might helps your situation awareness in a sense.
The Chinese indigenous Jihadists MAY BE, not the same buch who being hunted all over the world, they may even not necessaryly sharing the same vision, or taking any "order" in a command & control fashion from the overseas big-timer like AQ. But make no mistake, they are Jihadists to their bone, although they are foxy enough to hide it in front of somewhat unsespecting "international community".
The best way they "play" it, is to mix up the hype of "China (or better, the commy) suppress the minority races" with their own jihadism goal. One piece a time, seperating the Uigur ethnic autonomy districts from China, to form some independent islamic country.
Again, they may not taking orders from AQ, but big-timers like AQ likes this kind of idea, and when funds and other supports presenting to them, the Chinese jihadists didn't turn them away.
Caught in between, are the innocent non-jihadists of Uigur and many other ethnic races people who live there. You don't read news on CNN or BBC that non-collaborate Uigur people being torture till death by the extremists, that they cry out for help from the very commy authorities who swear to protect them. You also don't read news that CPC dumps all kinds of resources (money, talents...) to save the dying culture (civilization) like Uigur (and Tibet) language itself, while the very school (and even mosque) under constent assaults from these very animals who claims do it on behalf of the people...
Because gentlemen, you lives behind a "Great Firewall" of your own country.
Edgar Snow who wrote 西行漫记 Red Star Over China at about 1936 and 1937, is a man who "down to the ground", taking unbiased first hand expierince, living with the very Chinese people the world trying to know, and speak with unbiased voice. - That kind of things do not happen again when CNN reporters and Pulitzer Prize winners have so much things to rush to, at their bed of down, and have so much to loose, with their professions in the industry they are working with.
I sincerly hope people living in the country which wields power, learns more of the world they are response of.

Rebiya Kadeer is trying to push her own version of the events, but does not mention the taking of hostages at all. If the incident is prompted by the authorities "gunning down peaceful protesters", then how did it end? If the "protesters" stormed the police station after seeing their friends being gunned down, what then prompted them to leave afterward? Unfortunately, Kadeer is rather mum on that detail. Perhaps they're going to claim that the whole stand-off at the police station was fabricated by the PRC government.
What surprised me though, is the relatively fair-handed way this is being reported. It's certainly a far cry from the way the 2008 Tibet Riots were reported, and even an improvement over the 2009 Urumqi riots.
What sort of differences where there between the 2009 reporting and this one?
About not mentioning of the hostages, even if that were, it's possible that would be waved away as desperate measures taken against a oppression. Doesn't make it right, but the blame would be laid back on the government.

BBC at its best once again: so the same political "leader" who had presented a Han demonstration as Uighur one is saying that the police opened fire on "peaceful" activists who happened to have taken hostages from a police station. Is she gonna say that the 2 dead policemen committed suicide?
