Police blamed the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) for a train station attack in Urumqi last month that killed three people, Xinhua said on yesterday, the first time the separatist group has been directly linked to the assault.

Seventy-nine people were also injured in the attack late last month. Until now officials had said the attack in the troubled Xinjiang region, home to the Muslim Uygur ethnic group, was carried out by two religious extremists who were also killed in the blast.
