Two Tibetans set themselves on fire

Two Tibetans -- a monk in China and a teenager in India -- set themselves on fire on the same day to protest Beijing's ironclad control of the Himalayan region, a rights group and reports said yesterday. Kalsang Wangdu self-immolated in front of his monastery in a Tibetan area of Sichuan province on Monday, reported Radio Free Asia (RFA), which is funded by the US government.
