Olympic Flame Snuffed Out

Another embarrassment for China.

PARIS, April 7 (UPI) — The Olympic torch was doused Monday in Paris as demonstrators protested China’s civil rights record and involvement in Tibet, police said.

After the flame was snuffed, the torch was put on a bus, moved to another location and relit, Sky News reported. The torch was then extinguished again and put on a bus a second time, CNN reported.

At least it looks like Taiwan won’t be a problem.
