| Beijing plays down terror threat to Games CHINESE authorities have dismissed claims by a militant Islamist group that it is responsible for several fatal bus bombings and is planning a jihad against the Olympic Games. China has been warning for months that terrorism, especially from Muslim Uighur separatists in Xinjiang, poses the grea-*test*-('") threat to the Olympics. It says it has uncovered five separatist groups this year and arrested 82 on suspicion of plotting against the Games, which open on August 8.
