Beijing police investigated 7,398 tip-offs related to terrorism and detained 426 people last year, local authorities said Wednesday.

The 426 detainees include suspected terrorists, rumormongers and those who disseminated terrorist propaganda online.

In addition, police ran 11 anti-terror drills in 2014, a spokesperson of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said at a press conference.
