URUMQI, China, July 9 -- Chinese President Hu Jintao and other top leaders of the Communist Party vowed Thursday to severely punish those responsible for the bloody, ethnically charged clashes this week in the far western region of Xinjiang.
Hu, in his first public comments about the crisis, said local authorities should "isolate and deal a blow to the small group" responsible for killing 156 people and injuring more than 1,000 in attacks that pitted the dominant Han Chinese against the Muslim Uighur minority that used to dominate this area.
