CNN reports that a lone protester managed to breach the tight security during the Olympic torch lighting ceremony in Greece Monday.
"The man rushed behind the podium as China's Olympic chief was speaking.
He tried to unfurl an unidentified banner, but was quickly apprehended by security who escorted him away.
Meanwhile committee chief Liu Qi continued to make his speech in Chinese while the commotion went on behind him.
The camera cut away from the scene until the protester had been removed."
2008 Beijing Olympic Games torch relay has been started today.
