Teen Grabs Olympic Torch Screaming 'Allahu Akbar'
Talk about wanting a spot in the Olympic limelight. A teenager ran out on a road in Maidstone, England, today and tried to wrestle away the Olympic torch from its bearer while shouting "Allahu Akbar"—Arabic for "God is Great," reports the Evening Standard. Torch guards managed to drag him off the road, where he was arrested "within seconds," police say. Torch bearer Anna Skora stayed upright through the ordeal and kept smiling during her leg of the relay, the Daily Mail reports.
