03/30/2008

ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Police scuffled with pro-Tibet demonstrators gathered outside a stadium in Athens where Greek officials planned to hand over the Olympic flame to organizers of the Beijing Olympics.

About 10 demonstrators were detained after challenging a police cordon Sunday. They failed to disrupt the final leg of the Greek torch relay, from the Acropolis to the marble Panathenian Stadium.

The protesters chanted "Save Tibet!" and unfurled a banner that read "Stop Genocide in Tibet."
