China is enforcing a security crackdown in Xinjiang and Uighur activists say that in doing so its is fuelling the violence<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
At least 15 people have been killed and 14 others injured during an attack in the far western Chinese region of Xinjiang, state media has reported.<\/div>

Xinjiang is home to the Muslim Uighur minority group.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
There has been a wave of violence in the region, with more than 150 people being killed so far this year.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
China has blamed the unrest on Uighurs pushing for the region’s independence.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
China’s state-run Xinhua news agency reported that the attackers on Friday threw bombs out of a vehicle before they stabbed people on a street lined with food stalls.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Eleven of the dead are reported to be the attackers.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
An attack in the same region in July left nearly 100 people dead, including 59 assailants, state media said.<\/div>
 <\/div>
