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 demonstrators was from Germany. This was just the latest in a series of small-scale demonstrations held around the opening of the Beijing Olympics. Meanwhile, one American has been killed and another injured after being attacked by a Chinese man wielding a knife in Beijing. The attacker then took his own life by jumping out of a window of a tall building. The man who was killed was a relative of one of the coaches of the US volleyball team.
