Security has been tightened in south-west China's Kunming following a mass knife attack,
as witnesses described horrific scenes at the attack.
Several men and women burst into Kunming station, south-west China, on Saturday, stabbing people
at random and wounding more than 130. Officials have blamed separatists from the
Xinjiang region for the attack. China's security chief, Meng Jianzhu, has
vowed "all-out efforts" to "severely punish terrorists".
Mr Meng condemned the "brutal attack on defenceless, innocent people by violent terrorists" in
quotes carried by the state-run Xinhua news agency.
There are at least 10 suspected attackers, with four shot dead by police at the scene,
Chinese state media report. A female suspect was detained and is receiving
treatment for injuries, reports say. Eyewitnesses said the attackers used curved
swords and meat cleavers to stab people at random.
A parking attendant at the scene, identified only by his surname, Chen, told Reuters news
agency: "I saw five or six of them. They all had knives and they were stabbing people madly
over by the first and second ticket offices." Another witness, student Chen Zihong, told
the Beijing Times that she noticed something was amiss after she saw two men fighting.
"We were very afraid, and lots of travellers were running around, terrified," she said.
Chen Yugui, a hostel worker who was at the station during the attack, told the paper
he saw more than ten bodies lying on the ground. "The smell of blood was in the air, and there
were lots of people crying," he said. On Sunday, the UN Security Council said it
condemned the attack "in the strongest terms". UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon described
the attack as "terrible", adding: "There is no justification for the killing of innocent
civilians."
