Chinese riot city leader sackedhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8239591.stm
The Communist Party chief of the troubled western Chinese city of Urumqi has been sacked, the official Xinhua news agency says.
No official reason was given for the dismissal of Li Zhi.
It follows days of ethnic unrest in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang region, in which at least five people have died.

The protests came after a spate of stabbings with syringes blamed onUighur Muslim separatists. Unrest in Urumqi in July left nearly 200dead.
Li Zhi is to be replaced by Zhu Hailun, the head of Xinjiang region's law-and-order committee, the Xinhua report said.
The statement added that there had also been a leadership change inthe Xinjiang Autonomous Regional Public Security Department, but gaveno details.
Correspondents say that protesters who have marchedin their thousands through Urumqi in recent days have demanded Mr Li'sdismissal for failing to provide public safety.
The BBC'sMichael Bristow in Urumqi says the sacking is unusual as it shows theChinese authorities believe they may have made mistakes in the handlingof the unrest.
Tight security
Security in Urumqi has been tight thisweek, after thousands of Han Chinese demonstrated over the allegedhypodermic syringe stabbings.
In fresh unrest on Saturday,angry Han Chinese rushed to the city's main square following reportsthat three Uighur men had attacked a child with needles.

Video of the incident showed police driving the boy away and the crowd being dispersed.
China's top security official, Meng Jianzhu, arrived in the city on Friday to try to restore order.
Hewas quoted by Xinhua as saying the syringe attacks were a continuationof the July unrest in which 200 people - mostly Han Chinese - werekilled in ethnic riots.
Xinjiang's population is evenly splitbetween Uighurs and Han Chinese - the country's majority ethnic group.But Hans make up three-quarters of Urumqi's population.
Tensionbetween the Uighur and Han communities has been simmering for manyyears, but July's ethnic unrest was the worst for decades.
Itbegan when crowds of Uighurs took the streets to protest aboutmistreatment - but their rally spiralled out of control and days ofviolent clashes followed. |
