BEIJING (Reuters) - China released on Tuesday a wanted list of eight "terrorists" it said had threatened the Beijing Olympics and were bent on achieving independence for its restive western region of Xinjiang. The eight, all members of China's mainly Muslim minority Uighur group, belonged to the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), which the United Nations listed in 2002 as a terrorist organisation with links to Al Qaeda, police said. http://uk.reuters.com/article/naturalResources/idUKPEK34028320081021?sp=true
