NEWS ALERT: "Relative of U.S. coach killed in Beijing attack"

"The assailant also stabbed and injured a Chinese female tour guide with the Americans. He then committed suicide by throwing himself off a 130-foot-high balcony of the ancient landmark the Americans were visiting, the 13th century Drum Tower, the official Xinhua News Agency reported."


NOTE:

The Xinjuan Hotel I was staying at was 1/2 block from the Drum Tower (click for map, here & here), which I could see from my hotel room #219. Click here for video of Drum Tower, taken from Di'Anmenwait Dajie
