More Than Two Dozen Dead In China Attack

China's state-run news agency says at least 31 people have been killed and more than 90 wounded in an early morning attack on a busy street market in the capital of the country's volatile northwestern region of Xinjiang.

The official Xinhua News Agency says the assailants plowed through crowds of shoppers in off-road vehicles and threw explosives out the window before crashing head-on.
