BEIJING - Two military officers from Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia have been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the army, CPC's top anti-graft body said Tuesday.

The two officers are Zhang Genheng, former head of the frontier army regiment under Xinjiang's public security bureau, and Li Wenli, former director of military service office of Inner Mongolia regional public security department.

They were found to have "severely violated Party discipline" and suspected of accepting bribes, according to a statement published on the website of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
