2013 Tiananmen Square SUV attack
On 29 October 2013, an SUV with a black flag bearing the Shahadah waving outside one of its back windows drove recklessly towards the Forbidden City in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, struck numerous people, and caught fire near the palace that has long symbolized Chinese power. It turned out that a Uyghur family had been inside the vehicle, including a man, his wife, and his mother. Five people were killed, including those in the car and two tourists, and thirty-eight were injured in the process.
