After accusing the Dalai Lama of orchestrating the Tibet protests and describing him as “a wolf in monk's robes”, the Chinese government continued the series of accusations by saying Tuesday that the Tibetan “independence forces” are planning to carry out suicide attacks during the Olympic Games.

Probably in an attempt to make the Tibetans look like a future terrorist movement, Beijing officials accused the independence militants of assembling suicide squads for the Olympics.

"To our knowledge, the next plan of the Tibetan independence forces is to organize suicide squads to launch violent attacks," Public Security Bureau spokesman Wu Heping said Tuesday.

"They claimed that they fear neither bloodshed nor sacrifice," he added during a news conference.

However, the Chinese official didn’t say anything about the slightest piece of evidence that would back his allegations.

From exile, Tibet’s prime-minister Samdhong Rinpoche firmly denied the allegations and underlined the fact that Tibetans are determined to follow a "nonviolent path" to obtain what they want.

"There is no question of suicide attacks. There is absolutely no doubt in our mind that we want to follow the nonviolent path," the Tibetan PM said.

The Chinese government has constantly accused the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual leader, of being the mastermind behind the Lhasa protests. He allegedly intends to sabotage the August Beijing Olympics to achieve his goal of promoting Tibetan independence.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner has repeatedly denied the Chinese accusations and strongly condemned the violent turn that the Lhasa protests have taken. His Holiness called for an independent international investigation into the crackdown of the Chinese military on the Tibetan protesters.

Now the eyes of the world are turned towards the month long global tour of the Olympic flame. Many expect the Olympic torch relay to draw numerous protesters for the Tibetan cause. The Olympic flame is currently in Kazakhstan.

The Olympic flame, which has already drawn some protests before being handed to the Chinese organizers in Athens, Greece, was taken aboard a chartered plane to Beijing and received in a ceremony marked by very tight security. The flame is scheduled to make a trip around the world and stop in 21 locations before returning to Beijing on May 4.
