Man gets on stage during Olympics closing ceremony

TURIN, Italy (AP) -- In a startling security breach, an intruder got on stage during Sunday's closing ceremony of the Turin Olympics.

The man approached the microphone during a speech by organizing committee chief Valentino Castellani and shouted, "Passion lives in Torino," the slogan of the games.

The man, identified by police as Spanish, was then whisked away by security officers and taken into custody for questioning.

Castellani didn't seem fazed by the incident and continued his speech uninterrupted.

The intruder was wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with the name of an online casino. Police said he had a Turin staff jacket, allowing him to blend in with volunteers near the stage.

In a separate incident at the start of the ceremony, a female streaker tried to run onto the stage but was turned back by security.

On Friday, a male streaker with the online gambling company's name on his chest ran out from the stands during the bronze medal curling match.
