A Chinese Islamic group has posted a new video that shows a burning Olympics logo and an explosion over a venue for the Beijing Games, a US group that monitors extremist websites says.
The video, reported today by the IntelCentre, follows the posting of a similar video dated July 23.
Both are attributed to the Turkistan Islamic Party, which experts say is an offshoot of a secessionist group from China's Central Asian frontier with ties to al-Qaeda.
IntelCentre said the latest video was dated August 1 and features "graphics showing a burning Olympics logo and an explosion imposed over one of the venues".
The speaker urges Muslims to keep their children from the competition, and warns "Do not stay on the same bus, on the same train, on the same plane, in the same buildings, or any place the Chinese are," the SITE Intelligence Group translated.
Comments on the video were in the language of the Uighurs, a Muslim minority in western China with a long history of tense relations with the central government. No translation was immediately available.
