Tragic Attack On U.S. Olympic Coach's Relatives On Opening Day of Beijing Olympics

Although the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Beijing was breath catching, it was dampened by an attack on two relatives of the coach for the U.S. Olympic men's volleyball team. The relatives were out at one of the city's tourist sites, the 13th century Drum Tower. While on the second floor of the tower, a Chinese man armed with a knife stabbed and killed one family member and seriously injuring the other. The man then commited suicide by jumping off the second floor of the tower. Crime against foreigners is rare in Beijing, especially since security was increased for the Olympics.

The attacker was identified by the Xinhua News Agency as Tang Yongming, 47, from the eastern city of Hangzhou.

It is sad that this happened. What made Tang attack the Americans and then decide to jump to his death?
