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
detained was from Germany. A number of small-scale demonstrations
have been staged in the city since the opening of the Olympics. In
a separate incident, one American has been killed and another
injured in a knife attack by a Chinese man in Beijing. The attacker
then took his own life by jumping out of a window of a tall
building. The slain man is believed to have been related to a coach
with the US Olympic team.
