MASSIVE CHAOS

Okay... Maybe it isn't MASSIVE chaos, but since the start of the olympics, areas around China have started to erupt in chaos...
just today, two days into the olympic games, a blast in the XinJiang province killed two chinese, just weeks after another blast in the XinJiang Province killed 16 police officers at a police station. There has been no news as to who caused the explosions yet.



Back in Beijing, the father of an ex-olympian and the in-law of an Olympic coach was killed in a freak accident involving two americans, a chinese tourist guide, and a 47 year old chinese man. The attack happened at the Drum Tower in Beijing while the americans were visiting the ancient site. Officials say that this attack was probably not aimed at americans themselves and was just an act of terror. The 47 year old stabbed the americans and then committed suicide by jumping off the tower.



As well in the Tibetan areas, many pro tibet protestors lined the streets to coincide with the opening of the olympics.
