China blankets Tibetan areas with troops
China blanketed restive Tibetan areas Thursday with a huge buildup of troops, turning small towns across a wide swath of western China into armed encampments.
Over 120 Tibetans were arrested Sunday as they tried to storm the Chinese Embassy here while the Nepal government dismissed as ``groundless'' reports that Chinese security agents have been deployed on its territory along the border with the riots-scarred Tibet.
