Never before seen photo of Tiananmen square "Tank Man" released

[underpants]

In this combination picture, a photograph taken by then-AP reporter Terril Jones on June 5, 1989, top, and made available for the first time by the AP on Thursday June 4, 2009 shows three unidentified men fleeing the scene, as a Chinese man, background left, stands alone to block a line of approaching tanks, background right, in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. The man in the background stood his ground and blocked the column of tanks when they came closer, an image captured on film by numerous other photographers, including the one at bottom by photographer Jeff Widener. The photograph by Jones came to light after online discussions of the incident coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
