Minority Group: Drug Trafficking and China Ap

minority group: In this image made from video, a suspect is arrested by policemen after he allegedly drove an SUV into a crowd in Hengyang, China, according to Toronto Star. AP That appeared to rule out terrorism, although vehicles have previously been used in attacks blamed on militant Muslim separatists from the Uighur ethnic minority group. The Hengyang city government said the suspect in the case had previous convictions for crimes including drug trafficking, theft and assault and, acting alone, had sought to get revenge on society. Police identified the suspect as 54-year-old Yang Zanyun from Hengyang's Hengdong county in the largely agricultural province of Hunan. The SUV apparently appeared without warning, jumping the curb before plowing into the crowd. Tuesday night's attack happened in a public square where Chinese typically gather to dance in groups or enjoy the cool evening breezes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
