Troops from the People's Armed Police patrol a peace line set up just north of Limin Lane in Urumqi. The ethnically-mixed neighborhood in the south of the city was attacked on Tuesday, July 7, by Han Chinese seeking revenge for the riots of Sunday, July 5. Later on Tuesday, the government imposed martial law on the city to prevent further disturbances. [John Sexton, China.org.cn]
