Um, why does Uighur Separatist Movement redirect here? Surely this is not the only expression of Uyghur separatism... --MC MasterChef 00:13, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Admitted to training by Al Qaeda?

The article asserts that several Uighurs admitted to being trained by Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

I've read the transcripts of the 18 Uighurs, held in Guantanamo, who attended their Combatant Status Review Tribunal. All of those Uighurs admitted to being trained by Al Qaeda. All of them denied knowing of any ties between their training and Al Qaeda or the Taliban. See Uighur detainees in Guantanamo. -- Geo Swan 15:20, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
