The assailants crashed through metal barriers in a pair of SUVs at 7:50 a.m. and plowed through crowds of shoppers while setting off explosives, the statement said.The vehicles then crashed head-on and one adidas sambarose of them exploded, the air force 1 official Xinhua News Agency reported. It quoted an eyewitness as saying there were up to a dozen blasts in all.It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack, but recent violence in the region has been blamed on extremists from Xinjiang s native Turkic Uighur Muslim ethnic group seeking to overthrow Chinese rule in the region. The death toll was the highest for a violent incident in Xinjiang since days-long riots in Urumqi in 2009 between Uighurs and China s majority Han left almost 200 people dead.
