At least 30 people were killed when a pair of earthquakes jolted Tibet’s capital and surrounding areas today, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

The Olympic torch has wound through the streets of Tibet’s capital Lhasa, the site of a March crackdown on rioting that helped fuel demonstrations at some of the flame’s international stops.

The capital of Tibet is set to host the Olympic torch relay, three months after violent anti-government rioting rocked the city.
