Tiananmen Square Incident (CNN)

This article was about the recent vehicle explosion taking place at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. 40 people were injured and 5 were killed and until recently it was ruled an accident, but now with new evidence it is being ruled a terrorist attack. This article is a fact claim. According to a Beijing police spokesperson, a man named Usmen Hasan drove a jeep carrying his mother Kuwanhan Reyim and his wife Gulkiz Gini, through the famed square and died after the vehicle caught fire and exploded when crashing into the Jinshui Bridge. The evidence is substantial because after the vehicle was extinguished police found gasoline canteens, knives, steel sticks and a flag with extremist religious content (Jihad). Post-incident there have also been five new suspects detained after being found connected to the attack. The claim is that the attack was retaliation because of the tension between Muslim Uyghurs and the Han Chinese. The author primarily uses logos to make these claims because until now there has never been any notification of Chinese/Muslim tension, and with this new information comes solid backing for a terrorist attack.
