"US Internet giant Yahoo! denied Saturday posting on its websites pictures of 19 people wanted by the Chinese authorities for protesting in the Tibetan capital Lhasa.

"Contrary to media reports, Yahoo! Inc. is not displaying images on its web sites of individuals wanted by Chinese authorities in connection with the recent unrest in Tibet," it said in a statement sent to AFP in Paris.

"We are looking into this matter with Alibaba Group, the company that controls China Yahoo!," the company said."

China admits police fired at Tibetans in self-defence (Roundup)
Excerpt:
"Beijing - Chinese police said they shot protesters during violent Tibet-related unrest in the south-western province of Sichuan, the official news agency Xinhua reported Friday, in the first admission by government authorities that guns were used against Tibetan protesters.

Police opened fire in self-defence during unrest Sunday in the town of Aba, where members of China's Tibetan minority live, Xinhua said, citing police sources.

In an initial report, Xinhua said four people were killed, but it later corrected the story to say that police were still looking for four injured protesters, who fled after they were shot."
