Brazil to Review Olympic Torch Security After Riot

Violent protests in Brazil this week, which reportedly resulted in the Olympic torch being extinguished, prompted Rio de Janeiro's top security official on Thursday to vow that authorities will conduct a security review of the torch relay ahead of next week's Games.

Jose Mariano Beltrame, security secretary for Rio de Janeiro state, said the flame needed to be better protected after Wednesday's incident at the coastal resort of Angra dos Reis, Agence France-Presse reports.
