From Fox News:
BEIJING — China kept government workers confined to their offices Saturday and ordered tourists out of Tibet’s capital while lines of soldiers sealed off streets where riots had erupted, witnesses said. A Tibetan exile group said at least 30 people were killed in protests Friday.
Chinese state media reported that at least 10 people were killed when demonstrators rampaged in Lhasa Friday, protesting Chinese rule. The Dalai Lama’s exiled Tibetan government in India said it had confirmed at least 30 dead but said the toll could be as high as 100.
There was no confirmation from Chinese officials of the death toll and the numbers could not be independently verified.
Riot in the Tibetan capital Saturday are the largest and most violent protests against Chinese rule in the region in nearly two decades, dashing Beijing’s plans for a smooth run-up to August’s Olympics.
