#2 I seriously doubt it is the Dalai Lama's followers plotting suicide attacks. Besides the Green Helmet guy fomenting deceit in the press again, another past RB article came to mind. An excerpt:

Police closed off Lhasa's Muslim quarter on Friday, two weeks after Tibetan rioters burned down the city's mosque during the largest anti-Chinese protests in nearly two decades. Officers blockaded streets into the area, allowing in only area residents and worshippers observing the Muslim day of prayer. A heavy security presence continued in other parts of Lhasa's old city as cleanup crews waded through the destruction inflicted when days of initially peaceful protests turned deadly on March 14.

It was not clear why the area was cordoned off, although rioters had targeted businesses belonging to Chinese Muslim migrants known as Hui, who control much of Lhasa's commerce.

A small group of foreign journalists, including an Associated Press reporter, was taken to Lhasa earlier in the week on a three-day government-organized trip that ended Friday. The otherwise tightly scripted visit was disrupted when 30 red-robed monks pushed into a briefing being given by officials at the Jokhang Temple on Thursday, complaining of a lack of religious freedom and denouncing official claims that the Dalai Lama orchestrated the March 14 violence.

"What the government is saying is not true," one monk shouted out. "They killed many people," another monk said, referring to Chinese security forces. The outburst by the monks lasted for about 15 minutes before government officials ended it and told the journalists it was "time to go."

Sounds like the 'Religion of Pieces' are masquarading as Buddhists to me.
