ISLAMABAD ― Runners carried the Olympic flame around the outside of a
sports stadium Wednesday ― an invitation-only event in front of an
elite, sparse crowd with heavy security to deter any anti-China
protesters or terrorist attacks.

Clearly worried about the possibility that the high-profile ceremony
might be disrupted, thousands of police aided by explosives-sniffing
dogs stood guard as Pakistan's pro-China government ensured a
trouble-free stop on the torch's global tour toward Beijing.

Televised live ― the only way the general public could watch ― the relay
of Pakistani and Chinese torchbearers looked almost like a practice run
as they jogged on access roads around the perimeter of Jinnah Stadium,
Islamabad's main sports complex.

THAT SHOW HOW MUCH SUPPORT OF THE CHINA OLYMPIC
DESPITE ALL THE TORCH RUN CONTINUE
