Olympic torch relay cut short amidst China protests
The AP reports: Police say the last section of the torch relay has been canceled following protests. Previously, security officials have extinguished the Olympic torch for the third time because of raucous protests at the relay in Paris.
SkyNews also reports: “The flame had already been extinguished four times by security forces after repeated clashes with pro-Tibet and human rights campaigners. The city’s mayor also cancelled a ceremony to mark the torch’s passing as officials draped a Tibetan flag over the city hall’s facade.”
