US urged to "properly" handle Chinese terrorist suspects at Guantanamo

    China on Thursday urged the United States to properly handle the terrorist suspects of Chinese nationality held at Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.

    "The United States should deal with the terrorist suspects held at Guantanamo Bay in a prudent, responsible and proper manner," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said.

    The United States should take into consideration international anti-terrorism cooperation and China-U.S. relations and abide by international law, Qin said.

    The Pentagon posted a list of 558 detainees on its website on Wednesday after continued criticism of the secrecy surrounding the detention center.

    Qin said that terrorism is the common enemy of the international community.

    "The 'East Turkistan' terrorist forces constitute part of international terrorist forces, posing serious threats to the international community,including China and the United States, and people's lives and property," Qin said.

    "China hopes and believes that the international community can understand and support China's crackdown on "East Turkistan" terrorist forces," he said.
