Police and protestors clash

From AP:

Eyewitness accounts and photos posted on the Internet portrayed a chaotic scene in Lhasa, the provincial capital, with crowds hurling rocks at security forces, hotels and restaurants. The U.S. Embassy said Americans had reported gunfire. U.S. government-funded Radio Free Asia reported two people were killed.

At a demonstration outside the United Nations in New York, Psurbu Tsering of the Tibetan Association of New York and New Jersey said its members received phone calls from Tibet claiming 70 people had been killed and 1,000 arrested. The reports could not be verified.

Also a crackdown in Nepal:

Police scuffled Friday with about 1,000 protesters, including dozens of Buddhist monks, during a rally in Katmandu in support of demonstrators in Tibet. About 12 monks were injured.

The U.S. ambassador has urged China to use restraint:

He also recalled that Washington has "consistently urged the Chinese government to engage in a dialogue with the Dalai Lama," the Tibetan spiritual leader.

Speaking of the Dalai Lama:

DHARMSALA, India - China must stop using force against protesters in Tibet, the Dalai Lama said Friday, calling the demonstrations a manifestation of the "long-simmering resentment of the Tibetan people."

The Tibetan spiritual leader and head of Tibet's government-in-exile said in a statement that he was "deeply concerned over the situation that has been developing in Tibet following peaceful protests."
