It is reported that at the time of the incident, three American tourists who were in the area saw the incident and took pictures. The New York Times published a report entitled “Doubt Arises in Account of an Attack in China” based on these 27 photos.

The article said the accounts of the three tourists differed from the Chinese version. The article questioned whether the so-called “terrorist attack” was a clash between armed police “It looked like a fight between one police group and another police group.”
