Deaths reported in Tibet,China blames Dalai Lama

BEIJING-Independence protesters burned shops and cars in the Tibetan capital Lhasa on Friday and Chinese police were reported to have shot dead at least two people, in the fiercest unrest in the region for two decades.China accused supporters of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, of "masterminding" the uprising, which shatters its carefully-cultivated image of national prosperity and harmony in the buildup to the Beijing Olympic Games.The Dalai Lama appealed to China to stop using force and begin dialogue with Tibetans. Similar protests in the past have been crushed by security forces with gunfire and mass arrests.Peaceful marches by Buddhist monks in recent days have given way to angry crowds confronting riot police."Now it's very chaotic outside," an ethnic Tibetan resident said by telephone. "People have been burning cars and motorbikes and buses. There is smoke everywhere and they have been throwing rocks and breaking windows. We're scared."Radio Free Asia, quoting witnesses, said Chinese police fired on protesters, killing at least two. A source told Reuters that two Tibetans were shot dead near the Ramoche Monastery near the capital, Lhasa. The deaths could not be further verified.Residents near the Jokhang temple in old Lhasa said they had seen lines of riot police, but none spoke of gunfire. "We are waiting to see what will happen tomorrow," said an ethnic Tibetan woman. "It could get much worse."Up to 400 protesters gathered around a market near the Jokhang temple early on Friday and were confronted by about 1,000 police, according to a witness cited by Matt Whitticase of the Free Tibet Campaign in London.
