Around 1 pm on April 23, community workers and police officers made a routine visit to a house where the gang members were making explosives. They reported the suspicious activity and waited for backup. A gang member slipped out of the house and informed the gang leader, Kasmu Memet, and Musar. Kasmu was killed in the attacks.

Musar felt the group might be compromised and he and other gang members, including Rehman Wuper, launched the attack on community workers and police officers with long knives.

They killed three female community workers and forced nine others, including the head of the Selibuya police station, into a room, which they set fire to. All nine people in the room burned to death.

After the raid on the house, Musar and the others ran out of the house and attacked the backup forces. One police officer was killed at the scene. Another police officer and a government worker were seriously injured and died later in hospital.

Both Musar and Rehman were sentenced to death.

Usman Memet, another group member who helped move and hide the explosives after the attack, was given a jail sentence of nine years and six months.

The court said the five suspects all pleaded guilty and the trial was carried out in the Uygur language.

Questions:

1. How many people died from the violent attack on April 23?

2. Who was one of the key members of the terrorist group?
