Al Qaida terrorists are seeking to open a new front in their global jihad by sending agents to China, according to Israeli counterterrorism sources.
An Al Qaida unit was smuggled into the Chinese border town of Kushi in Xinjiang Province in November, according to the sources.
The cell then joined Uighur terrorists sympathetic to Bin Laden’s Al Qaida.
Al Qaida is believed to be planning operations against U.S. companies and tourists in China.
The cell’s movement from Uzbekistan into China is the basis for a recent terror warning to luxury hotels in southern China.
