A main market in the capital was set on fire, and some Tibetans were hospitalized with serious injuries, according to Kate Saunders, a spokeswoman for the International Campaign for Tibet, which promotes human rights and democratic freedom in Tibet.

Friday''''''''s violence began when police tried to stop a peaceful protest by monks at Ramoche Temple, she told CNN.

"Apparently local people -- lay people -- got involved, and a police car was set on fire. This was followed by Tromsikhang Market being set on fire," she said from London.

Saunders said her organization had confirmed reports that some Tibetans were in the hospital with serious injuries, though she didn''''''''t know the nature of the injuries or how many people were being treated.

A Han girl who spoke to CNN from Lhasa said she had been beaten by a group of Tibetans.

"I am now in hospital with a bandage on my head," she said. "The trains are closed and I am not sure if I can take a plane back, or if I can reach the airport. All is chaotic now."

State-run Xinhua News Agency confirmed that shops had been set on fire and that owners of nearby businesses had shut their doors, according to The Associated Press.

The violence was under way near Barkhor Square, home to the revered Jokhang Temple.

Some ethnic Tibetan shopkeepers hung Tibetan scarves outside their stores in an attempt to spare them from the protesters'''''''' wrath.

The unrest follows days of protests in Tibet and neighboring India over Chinese rule in Tibet, an autonomous region of China that has long sought its independence. Watch the dilemma the Indian government is facing »

The protests come less than five months before China is to stage the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.

On Thursday, two monks from the Drepung Monastery in Lhasa tried to kill themselves to protest Chinese rule, Radio Free Asia reported, as Chinese authorities blamed the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, for the unrest.

Security forces also fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesting Tibetan monks near Lhasa on Tuesday, according to Radio Free Asia, a nonprofit corporation funded by the U.S. government.
