Buddhist monks interrupt press tour
Buddhist monks have again disrupted a carefully controlled Chinese government media tour of their monasteries. The official Xinhua News agency says a group of monks at the Labrang monastery in western Gansu province interrupted the event, but it soon resumed. The incident follows a similar interruption two weeks ago, when monks screamed that there was no religious freedom in Tibet during a government media tour of Lhasa. No details of Wednesday's disruption were given. The Associated Press was not invited to participate in the trip. (AP via ABC News)
