France: Relay of the Olympic torch through Paris called off Tue. April 08, 2008 03:52 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) The Chinese authorities organizing the five-hour passage of the Olympic torch gave up the road relay after demonstrators protesting against Beijing's crackdown on Tibet constantly snarled its progress and forced lengthy delays, Police said. Thousands of pro-Tibet protesters tried to block the path of the Olympic torch and the flame had to be extinguished at least twice. The torch relay hit trouble almost as soon as it set off from the Eiffel Tower, and regularly ground to halt when protesters threatened to break through the imposing security cordon thrown around the athletes carrying the flame.-Reuters News Category: Sports Latest Headlines Latest News Iraqi: Law maker killed in bomb attack ...
