BEIJING — China announced the breakup of a bombmaking plot in the western region of Xinjiang on Wednesday, an apparent indication that authorities had not only failed suppress the ethnic hatreds there but also that the weapons of choice in the feud could be getting more lethal.
The announcement, from the Public Security Ministry, said authorities had arrested six people who had established three bomb-making workshops and assembled about 20 explosive devices in a town 430 miles outside the region’s capital, Urumqi.
