China moves against terrorists?

You have to take most reports from China with a grain of salt, but it appears that they raided a camp supposedly run by the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, which is on our list of terrorist organizations, and killed eighteen people in the camp.

The raid took place in the northwest, where there is a colony of Muslims who don't like the central government to such a degree that they have been involved in almost 300 incidents in which 160 were killed over the past ten years. Was the current raid also an attempt to tamp the fires of independence?
