On Wednesday, a handicapped Tibetan, identified as Tsekhog of Luchu county, attempted to self-immolate by showering his body with kerosene and also drinking the fuel.Before he could light his body on fire, the security force arrived and took him away.Tibetans suspect that a local resident, in the hope of getting a reward, had alerted the police about Tsekhog's plan to self-immolate in front of the Ala township center.Local authorities had promised residents a reward of 5,000 yuan if they alert police and give "credible" information about potential self-immolations.
