<\/div>
A US media report says at least 18 people have been killed in the Chinese region of Xinjiang during a clash at a police checkpoint.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
According to US-based Radio Free Asia, ethnic Uighurs – part of China’s Muslim minority – attacked the police on the outskirts of Kashgar city on Monday.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The Chinese authorities have refused to comment on the incident.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Hospital workers in Kashgar told the BBC several injured police received medical treatment.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Radio Free Asia reports the attackers killed police officers using bombs and knives after speeding through the checkpoint at night.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
One possible motive could be the tight restrictions placed on Muslim Uighurs during Ramadan.<\/div>
 <\/div>
Muslim party members, civil servants, students and teachers are stopped from observing the period when Muslims fast – one of the five pillars of Islam.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
There is frequent unrest in Xinjiang between the Chinese authorities and the Uighurs, and hundreds have died in attacks over the past three years.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Uighurs say Beijing’s repression of their religious and cultural customs is provoking the violence.<\/div>
 <\/div>
But China insists the attacks are being carried out by what it calls Islamic terrorists supported by overseas groups.<\/div>
