![Two of five Chinese suspects, released from the US-run Guantanamo prison, walk in an Albanian refugees center in Tirana May 12, 2006. The Chinese government has demanded immediate return of five Chinese nationals who are by no means refugees but terrorist suspects, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao. The five from Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are suspected of being members of the East Turkistan Islamic Movement. They were held in Guantanamo for several years after being picked up during the US invasion of Afghanistan following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
