China's Politburo Pledges Stability for Xinjiang
AP reports:China's top communist leaders vowed to maintain stability in the west of the country in their first public comments Thursday on the ethnic riots that killed more than 150 people, and accused overseas forces of orchestrating the violence.
An urgent nine-member Politburo Standing Committee meeting, led by President Hu Jintao, called on Communist Party members and officials at all levels to mobilize to restore order, and promised punishment to rioters and leniency to participants who were misled by agitators.

BBC reports:A third wave of attacks is now reported to be underway, slowing down or paralysing the internet operations of large organisations including a bank, a national newspaper and the South Korean spy agency.
The agency is reportedly the source of the speculation that the operation may have been instigated by North Korea or its sympathisers.
The United States is the only other country to have been affected by the cyber attacks, where the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department are all said to have been targeted.
While undoubtedly causing inconvenience for the organisations, and their customers, the attacks affect only their public websites, and present no other security threat.
Despite the speculation, no evidence has been produced to prove a link with North Korea.
But some reports suggest it has a long-established military unit, employing up to 1,000 skilled computer hackers.
