Security tight as Olympic torch arrives in San Fran

The Olympic torch arrived for its only North American stop amid heavy security Tuesday, a day after its visit to Paris descended into chaos and activists in San Francisco scaled the Golden Gate Bridge to protest China’s human rights record.

Meanwhile, International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said the body’s executive board would discuss Friday whether to end the international leg of the Beijing Olympic torch relay because of widespread protests, which began from the outset of the torch’s 85,000-mile trek.
