'Eighty killed' in Tibetan unrest

Chinese troops were out in force in Lhasa on Sunday.
At least 80 people have been killed in unrest following protests by Tibetans against Chinese rule, the Tibetan government in exile says.



Indian-based officials said the figure was confirmed by several sources, even though China put the death toll at 10.
The Dalai Lama called for an international inquiry into China's crackdown, accusing it of a "rule of terror" and "cultural genocide".


Chinese troops were out in force in Lhasa, Tibet's main city, on Sunday.
Hong Kong Cable TV reported that about 200 military vehicles, each carrying 40 to 60 armed soldiers, had driven into the city.
Loudspeakers broadcast messages, such as: "Discern between enemies and friends, maintain order."


China tightly restricts Western journalists' access to Tibet and it is sometimes extremely difficult to verify what is going on.
