What was supposed to be a majestic procession through the French capital for the Olympic torch was disrupted Monday as thousands of people from around Europe, many with Tibetan flags, massed to protest the relay, forcing police officers to bring the torch onto a bus to try to protect it.
The torch was extinguished at least once, although a police spokeswoman, speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with policy, said it was put out "for technical reasons" unrelated to the protests.
