Five foreign pro-Tibet activists have been arrested after staging a
protest in Beijing's central Tiananmen Square.
A joint statement
issued by two overseas Tibet rights groups said one of those
demonstrators was from Germany. This was just the latest in a
series of small-scale demonstrations held around the opening of the
Beijing Olympics. Meanwhile, one American has been killed and
another injured after being attacked by a Chinese man wielding a
knife in Beijing. The attacker then took his own life by jumping
out of a window of a tall building. The man who was killed was a
relative of one of the coaches of the US volleyball team.
