Vowing to plant their flag in China and that blood will "flow in rivers", a video released this week purportedly by the Islamic State group shows ethnic Uighur fighters training in Iraq, underscoring what Beijing sees as a serious threat. One shot that shows Chinese President Xi Jinping gives way to flames in front of a Chinese flag. "In retaliation for the tears that flow from the eyes of the oppressed, we will make your blood flow in rivers, by the will of God!" 'SERIOUS THREAT'The video, released this week by the US-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant groups online, also showed two bloody executions of unidentified people. Rian Thum, a Uighur specialist at Loyola University New Orleans, said the Uighurs in the video were presented in the style of Islamic State propaganda.
