China has reportedly cracked down on 32 terror modules and arrested more than 380 suspects, during an anti-terror campaign in China's Xinjiang region.

According to ABC News, officials from the Xinjiang region told reporters Monday that security forces also seized several hundred explosive devices, a few tons of explosive material and computers and books about terrorism and religious extremism.

The move comes in the wake of a series of attacks on civilians since late October.

At least 43 people were killed in a market bombing in Xinjiang's capital, Urumqi, last month.
