Three die in China 'terror' blast

Three people have been killed in an explosion which rocked a railway station in China’s restive far-western region of Xinjiang.

Seventy-nine people were injured, State broadcaster CCTV said.

Raiders attacked crowds with knives and set off explosions at the same time at the Urumqi South Station. The station called it a terrorist act.

The attack came as President Xi Jinping wrapped up a four-day visit to the area, state media said.
