A Tibetan man died when detonating a bomb in a government building in western China over the weekend, Radio Free Asia reported.
The man identified as Tashi, 32, part of the large Tibetan minority population concentrated in the western province of Sichuan, targeted a building used to monitor local residents, the report on Monday said, citing India-based Tibetans with contacts in the area.
"He died in the explosion that also damaged the building. The extent of damage on the government building is not clear," an India-based friend of Tashi told RFA.
The report did not say whether there were other people or casualties in the building at the time, nor report the extent of the damage to the building.
