Two men set themselves alight in Tibetan capital in latest protest over Chinese rule

One man was killed and another badly injured after they set themselves alight outside a temple in the Tibetan capital Lhasa on Sunday, in the latest protest over Chinese rule.

More than 30 Tibetans have engulfed themselves in fiery protest in the last year, but it's the first time the tiny country's closely tightly guarded capital has been targeted.

Chinese authorities have identified the dead man as 19-year-old Tobgye Tseten and the other man as Dargye, while American sources claim the two men were both waiters at a nearby restaurant.
