The government of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region announced on Sunday that it will give rewards totaling about 300 million CNY (48.6 million USD) to all those who heroically participated in the recent massive manhunt and capture of fugitive suspected terrorists in Moyu county of Hotan prefecture.
Â
Police received a tip on Friday that the remaining suspected members of the terrorist cell led by Abudulrehman Abudulkerep were hiding in the cornfields of Puqiakeqi township.
Â
The police asked the residents from five nearby villages to assist in the manhunt.
Â
The suspects were reportedly planning to wage attacks on a local kindergarten on Sunday.
Â
"I heard the announcement on a village radio broadcast. It said the terrorists were hiding in the cornfield and we must help the police find them," said Nurmemet, who only provided his given name. The 59-year-old then immediately called his son to join in the pursuit.Â
