The newspaper added that two other suspects had been admitted to hospital
after mutilating themselves. It gave no names or further details. The local
government did not respond to requests for comment.
The plane was carrying 92 passengers, and rumours on the Chinese internet
suggested that some of them may have been policemen travelling to a training
session in Urumqi. Witnesses on board the flight alleged that the men also
had explosives, but had failed to set them off.
A spokesman for a US-based Uighur lobby group, the World Uyghur Congress, said
the incident had not been a hijacking attempt, but a brawl over a seat
dispute.
