Xinjiang has seen a spate of attacks in recent months, amid tension between its minority Muslim Uighur population and Han Chinese residents.<\/div>
 <\/div>
 <\/div>
Chinese authorities have responded with a large security crackdown.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Hundreds of people have been arrested and dozens executed, although information about incidents in the region is tightly controlled.<\/div>

Beijing blames the violence on Uighur separatists inspired or supported by overseas extremists groups. Activists say China’s policies towards Uighurs are repressive and are fuelling significant resentment.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
In the latest report, Tianshan Net said residents had reported a man carrying a suspicious device. As police approached him the man tried to attack them and to detonate explosives, but was shot dead, it said.<\/div>
 <\/div>

Five other people were then shot dead as they also tried to detonate the explosives.<\/div>
