Region offers rewards for tips on terror

The Tibet autonomous region is offering rewards of up to 300,000 yuan ($48,500) to anyone who provides authorities with tips about violence and terrorism.

The measure will encourage residents to be involved in the anti-terror campaign and to report activities or violence, officials with the regional public and security department said.

A nationwide campaign to fight terrorism was launched following deadly attacks in Beijing, Yunnan province and the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
