3rd LD: Olympic torch relay resumed in Paris, spectators annoyed
by protests
PARIS, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Spectators of the Beijing Olympic
torch relay were greatly annoyed and angered by Tibetan separatists
and their supporters attempting to disrupt the Monday event in
Paris, the fifth leg of the flame's global tour.
"We've come here only to watch the torch relay," said a Paris
student, who only gave his first name as Mark.
"What in the world does this have anything to do with us except
for annoying us?" he added, pointing to Tibetan separatist
demonstrators.
