BEIJING (AP) — Passengers and crew foiled a hijacking attempt by six people on a plane in China's far-western Xinjiang region Friday, a regional airline and state media said. An overseas rights group, however, denied a hijacking attempt took place and said a seat dispute triggered an in-air brawl. The Tianshan regional government's news portal said the alleged hijacking attempt was made just after the plane took off from Hotan in southern Xinjiang for the regional capital of Urumqi and the six suspects were detained after the plane returned safely. Tianjin Airlines said on its website that the plane returned to Hotan 22 minutes after takeoff. Tianshan did not give further details, such as how many passengers were on the plane or what was known about the suspects. 北京(美国联合通讯社)——星期五，在中国西部的新疆地区，机组人员和乘客挫败了一起6人劫机案。然而，一家海外人泉组织否认发生了劫机事件，称这只是“位置争议引发的空中打斗”。 天山区政府的新闻网站称，从和田飞往乌鲁木齐的飞机起飞不久后发生了劫机事件，飞机安全返航后，6名嫌疑人被拘留。 天津航空公司在其网站上称，飞机起飞后22分钟就开始返航。天山区网站没有进一步给出细节，比如机上有多少乘客，嫌疑人的情况等。 Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the German-based World Uyghur Congress, said local sources in Hotan told him that the plane turned back after Uighurs and Hans began fighting after a disagreement over seat assignments. Hans are China's ethnic majority, while a large population of ethnic Uighurs (pronounced WEE'-gurs) lives in Xinjiang. Hotan has been the scene of recent clashes between authorities and Uighurs resentful of government controls on their religion and culture. The government says China faces an organized terrorist threat from radical Muslim groups in the region and that it has invested heavily to raise living standards in Xinjiang. The investment into developing the region has led to an influx of Han, which has been one source of the tensions there. 总部在德国的“世维会”发言人表示，和田当地消息人士告诉他，维族和汉族因在座位安排上存在争议而出现打斗，飞机随后返航。 汉族是中国的主体民族，而新疆居住着大量的维族。和田最近发生了一些冲突事件，起因是维族对政府控制他们的宗教和文化感到愤怒。 政府表示，中国在该地区面临激进穆斯林群体的有组织恐怖主义威胁，已经投入巨资以提高新疆地区人们的生活水平。随着投资而来的是汉人的涌入，此举成为了紧张关系的一个源头。 The phone listed for Hotan police rang unanswered Friday. A man who identified himself as a police officer and gave only his family name Wang at Xinjiang Department of Public Security said no more information was available. In 2008, state media reported that a Uighur woman made an unsuccessful attempt to hijack a passenger plane flying to Beijing from Urumqi. In general, threats to civil aviation in China are believed to be rare. 星期五，拨往和田警局的电话无人接听。一名自称姓王的新疆公共安全部门警官表示无法提供进一步信息。 2008年，国家媒体报道称一名维族妇女企图劫持一架从乌鲁木齐飞往北京的客机，但是失败了。 一般而言，据信中国民用航空受到的威胁是罕见的。
网友评论： realistBy those standards, the events of 911 were just really really bad seat disputes: the Muslims on board were not happy with their seat and wanted to be immediately seated on the 80th floor of the World Trade Centers... 按照这些标准，9/11事件就真的只是糟糕的位置争议：机上的穆斯林对所坐的位置不满意，想要马上坐到世贸大厦第80层去...
2users Muslims always have some conspiracy theory to blame some outside influence for THEIR Islamic militants...Always someone elses fault. Hence the chaos in every country they run. 穆斯林总是能有一些阴谋论，帮他们的伊斯兰武装分子怪罪于外部影响...总是其他一些人的错。因此每个国家都出现他们带来的动乱。
Post AsOptions What would an OVERSEAS rights group know? 一个海外人泉组织能知道个屁？
RobertThe latest news in China was that the hijackers had miniature blasting caps. 中国的最新消息是劫机者有微型爆破雷管。
RoseThat could have been made up by some Hans on the web, the same way the so called overseas Uigur groups make up stuff on the fly to court public sympaphy.We just don't really know at this point.What we do know is no one should be messing around while on board a plane, else there'll be serious consequences. 那可能是一些汉人在网上编造的，这与海外维族团体为了博得公众同情而急忙瞎编故事如出一辙。我们此刻不知道发生了什么。我们所知道的是人们不应该在机上瞎闹，否则会出现严重后果。
yahooreader Uighur muslim terrorists at work again. 维族穆斯林恐怖分子又行动了
Jahoo "Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the German-based World Uyghur Congress, said local sources in Hotan told him that the plane turned back after Uighurs and Hans began fighting after a disagreement over seat assignments."
All seats are pre-assigned and their seat# is printed consicuously on every single boarding pass! Then of course, flying carpets have on seat#:-) “总部在德国的世维会发言人表示，和田当地消息人士告诉他，维族和汉族因在座位安排上存在争议而出现打斗，飞机随后返航。” 所有位置都是预先安排好的，他们的位置被显著地打印在每张登机牌上！ 当然，或许飞机毯上也有座位了

Do they know something that we don’t know?It smells fishy to me. 在看了几行字以后，无意中看到“海外人权组织”这个词！这个组织是如何知道这个劫机事件的？他们是否知道一些我们所不知道的事情？ 听起来有点怪怪的。

Bernard ? Nanning, China ? 1 hr 27 mins ago There are Uigurs in the USA that get support (money) from the US govt., forgot the details. Some muslims come from Turkmenistan and put oil on the fire. It is not the local people that start these troubles. 一些维族人在美国接受美国政府的资金支持。别去说细节了。一些来自土库曼斯坦的穆斯林火上浇油。开启麻烦争端的不是那些当地人。
Cup of tea ? 10 hrs ago "said local sources in Hotan told him that the plane turned back after Uighurs and Hans began fighting after a disagreement over seat assignments." Apparently these Uighur trash knew what's going on. They have already prepared the ridiculous excuse. Even western world don't know hat happened now, and these who can't even communicate with westerns have already know in detail its a fight over seat? Give me a F$#@ break. They organized the hijack, but failed. Now they try to make excuse to pretend to be the victim. But how come a fight over seat cause two security stuff seriously injured? And five more injured? This only mean one fact, the Uighur terrorists have weapons with them. They were well prepared for the hijack. “和田当地消息人士告诉他，维族和汉族因在座位安排上存在争议而出现打斗，飞机随后返航。” 很明显，这些维族知道发生了什么。他们已经准备好了滑稽理由。连西方世界现在都不知道发生了什么，而这些甚至不能与西方人交流的人却已经详细知道了这是起位置争议事件？饶了我吧。是他们组织了这次劫机，但是失败了。现在他们试图找理由假装自己是受害者。但是位置争议怎么会导致两名安全人员严重受伤？还有另外5人受伤？这只意味着一个事实，即维族恐怖分子有武器。他们为这次劫机做了很好的准备。

Rose ? 8 hrs ago "An overseas rights group, however, denied a hijacking attempt took place and said a seat dispute triggered an in-air brawl." It amazes me that every time some incident happens in Tibet or Xinjiang [sp?], these overseas groups can within minutes pump out what seems to be an alternative version of the story with some seemingly "insider" or "on the ground" information.How do they manage to achieve in such a lighning speed what major local and Western news channels can't, other than making stuff up? “然而，一个海外人泉组织否认发生了劫机事件，称是位置争议引发了空中打斗。” 令我吃惊的是每次西藏或者新疆发生一些事件，这些海外组织就能根据“内幕人”或者“现场消息”，在几分钟内推出另一个版本的故事。主要的当地媒体和西方新闻频道都办不到，他们又是如何如此快速地获知消息的，要不然就是杜撰的？
TM ? 6 hrs ago They have SOP to guide them how to response in such circumstance. 他们有标准的作业程式来帮助他们在这样的情形下如何回应。

.As per the World Uighur Congreess, in 911, those muslim passengers just took over the plane after the pilot failed to locate the runway. what's worse is the world towers are in their way. 按照“世维会”的说法，9/11事件中的穆斯林乘客只是在飞行员无法定位跑道时才接管飞机的。更糟糕的是世贸大厦正好在他们要去的路上。MD人民还是有一定智商的。。。果然在绿教面前中国和美国民众的意见才会统一啊As per the World Uighur Congreess, in 911, those muslim passengers just took over the plane after the pilot failed to locate the runway. what's worse is the world towers are in their way. 按照“世维会”的说法，9/11事件中的穆斯林乘客只是在飞行员无法定位跑道时才接管飞机的。更糟糕的是世贸大厦正好在他们要去的路上。按照“世维会”的说法，9/11事件中的穆斯林乘客只是在飞行员无法定位跑道时才接管飞机的。更糟糕的是世贸大厦正好在他们要去的路上。 连中美喷子们在对待驴叫的立场上也是一样的啊 看来驴叫还真是全球公敌 看完感觉就是，绿教加油，世界和平就靠你们了。
