Dalai clique behind violence

A signed article released by Xinhua yesterday reveals how the Dalai Lama clique plotted and incited the violence in Lhasa on March 14 which claimed the lives of at least 18 civilians and one police officer.

The article by Yi Duo said it was untrue for the Dalai Lama and his backers to claim that the riots were a "spontaneous peaceful protest" with which the Dalai Lama had nothing to do.

An unidentified suspect involved in the Lhasa violence confessed to the police that the "security department" of the "Tibetan government-in-exile" asked him to distribute leaflets promoting the so-called "Tibetan people's uprising movement" among civilians and monks in Tibet, according to the article.
