Ethnic Uighurs women walk in front of an armoured personal carrier in Urumqi in China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region July 10, 2009. Security forces have imposed control over Urumqi, but the afternoon prayers on Friday were testing the government's ability to contain Uighur anger after Han Chinese, China's predominant ethnic group, attacked Uighur neighbourhoods on Tuesday.
