Chinese plane attempted hijack by Chinese Muslims terrorists?

I am betting YES.   Ahh ... good to see alert passengers and crew foiling the attempt.  
Xinjiang, where the attempt happened is Muslim-heavy.  This is the Chinese province where the govt. is having the most problems with their Muslim citizenry.   What else is new, eh?!!   Whereever you find followers of the cult, there you will find discord and disharmony.


 ....Passengers and crew foiled a hijacking attempt   by six people on a plane in China's far-western Xinjiang region Friday, a regional airline and state media said. An overseas rights group, however, denied a hijacking attempt took place and said a seat dispute triggered an in-air brawl.


The Tianshan regional government's news portal said the alleged hijacking attempt was made just after the plane took off from Hotan in southern Xinjiang for the regional capital of Urumqi and the six suspects were detained after the plane returned safely.


Tianjin Airlines said on its website that the plane returned to Hotan 22 minutes after takeoff. Tianshan did not give further details, such as how many passengers were on the plane or what was known about the suspects.....


....The government says China faces an organized terrorist threat from radical Muslim groups in the region and that it has invested heavily to raise living standards in Xinjiang. The investment into developing the region has led to an influx of Han, which has been one source of the tensions there.....
