This is an improbable-sounding story. Trying make any sort of sense about what's going on in China right now is just about impossible.
Would Tibetan monks really plant and detonate a bomb? Is this a false flag attack by the Chinese designed to generate negative sentiment towards the monks and, by extension, towards the pro-Tibetan position more generally? Is it possible this was an attack orchestrated by a foreign government or agency, designed to muddy that waters?

Nine Tibetan Buddhist monks have been arrested for involvement in an alleged bomb attack on a government building in China's Tibetan region, the official Xinhua News Agency says.
The monks from the Tongxia monastery fled after the homemade bomb exploded at the building in Gyanbe township on March 23, and later confessed to planting the explosive, Xinhua said late on Saturday.
