Dalai Lama alleges China tried to poison him

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama says China trained female Tibetan agents to kill him by putting poison in their hair and scarves, which he might touch during a blessing.

"We received some sort of information from Tibet," he told Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper in broken English. "Some Chinese agents training some Tibetans, especially women, you see, using poison the hair poisoned, and the scarf poisoned — they were supposed to seek blessing from me, and my hand touch … I don't know whether 100 per cent correct or not. There is no possibility to cross-check."

China, which has ruled Tibet since 1950, said the accusations weren't worth rebutting, adding that the Dalai Lama generally spreads false information.

"The Dalai always wears religious clothes while carrying out anti-China separatist activities in the global community, spreading false information and deceiving the public," China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a routine daily news briefing.
