Beijing declares ‘people's war', troops pour into Lhasa
Chinese security forces poured into Lhasa even as the local government today launched a "people's war" to crush the massive pro-independence protests, ahead of the deadline to agitating Tibetans to surrender.
No fresh bloodletting was reported in Lhasa where 10 people were killed and 12 security personnel injured after the protests, launched as part of the stir to mark the 49th anniversary of the failed Tibetan uprising against the 57-year Chinese rule, turned violent.
But rights groups claimed that seven people were killed today after the violent protests spilled to nearby provinces of Sichuan, Qinghai and Gansu with significant Tibetan population.
A day after setting a Monday deadline for rioters to surrender or face punishment, Tibetan political and security chiefs declared a "people's war" against the protesters and vowed to "expose" the Dalai Lama group.
