Olympic torch sets off in Oman


Fuzzy but Live - Internet coverage of the Oman torch relay

The Olympic torch has set off on its latest relay around the streets of Muscat in Oman. Live pictures were only available via the Oman Television internet stream with no coverage given to events by Sky News, the BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera or CCTV-9. There appears to be none of the chaotic scenes that have plagued the Olympic relay on earlier routes. Pictures relayed by the Ministry of Information show a jubilant crowd waving Oman and Chinese flags as the torch passed through the streets.
