China dismisses bus bombs claim

[Gunny]

Chinese authorities have dismissed claims by a militant Islamist group that it was responsible for recent explosions on buses.

The Turkestan Islamic Party said that it had blown up buses in Shanghai and Yunnan, killing five people.

It also said that it was planning attacks on the Olympic Games.

Although China denies the explosions were acts of terrorism, it has recently arrested alleged militants it says were planning attacks on the games.
