Soldier stabbed outside army barracks in SW China
By ANITA CHANG,Associated Press Writer AP - 1 hour 52 minutes ago
BEIJING - An assailant stabbed a soldier in the back outside an army barracks in southwestern China, the official China Daily newspaper said Monday, the second such attack on a serviceman in two weeks.

Though it was not known whether the two attacks were related, they underscore an increase in violent crime that has accompanied China's free-market reforms and a loosening of social controls.
The soldier was stabbed last Thursday in Leshan city of Sichuan province, China Daily said, citing an unnamed police source in Leshan, who said the attacks may be linked to Tibetan separatists. The report did not give the soldier's condition or say whether the assailant had been caught.
China Daily quoted the police source as saying that the assailant scaled a wall in a section of the barracks where service members' families are housed. The unidentified attacker then stabbed the soldier repeatedly in the back from behind as he was walking out of a gate before running away.
Details of the report could not be independently confirmed. A man in the propaganda department of the city's public security department, who only gave his surname Wang, said he was not aware of the stabbing and refused to answer further questions.
The first attack, in which a soldier was shot to death in the southwestern city of Chongqing, set off an anti-terrorism response with police setting up roadblocks and searching door-to-door for the suspect.
China Daily cited the police source as saying that suspected Tibetan separatists may be behind both attacks, which occurred not far from ethnically Tibetan regions of China. No evidence has been provided and China routinely accuses the Tibetan exile community of fomenting violence against Chinese authorities.
This month has marked several sensitive anniversaries for Tibetans, including the 50th anniversary of a Tibetan uprising that sent the Dalai Lama into exile. China responded to the uprising with a harsh crackdown, placing Tibet under Beijing's direct rule for the first time and proceeding to demolish the region's traditional Buddhist-based social system.
Tibetan areas have been under tight security before the anniversaries.
