                          奥运圣火到达巴基斯坦首都
  北京奥运圣火在当地时间0时25分抵达巴基斯坦首都伊斯兰堡，开始它全球之旅的第十站。
  奥运圣火被安置在一个特殊的灯笼里，由飞机从阿曼的首都马斯喀特运往这里。
  奥运圣火的到来受到了人们的热烈欢呼，其中的代表包括巴基斯坦奥委会主席赛义德·阿里夫·哈桑、巴基斯坦的体育部长穆罕默德、首都发展局局长和中国驻巴基斯坦大使罗照辉。
  北京奥组委执行副主席蒋效愚手持火种灯走出机舱。
  巴基斯坦奥委会主席热烈欢迎蒋的到来并献上鲜花。
  火炬传递仪式定于周三下午并且在巴基斯坦东南部的综合体育馆（在20世纪80年代由中国的援助建成的）举行。
  根据当地媒体的消息巴基斯坦总统穆沙拉夫和总理优素福·拉扎·吉拉尼可能参加本仪式。约合65名火炬手参加接力，其中包括10名女性。
  火炬传递活动在伊斯兰堡结束后将会前往印度的新德里。
  2008北京奥运圣火3月24日在希腊的奥林匹亚点燃，经过了6天的传递于3月31日正式移交北京。
  经过130天相当于137000公里的传递，奥运圣火将在8月8日回归，为奥运拉开序幕。

    The POA president said he has got "great feelings" after offering a bunch of flowers to Jiang.

    The Olympic torch relay, the first time for Islamabad, will start on Wednesday afternoon in southeast Islamabad's Pakistan Sports Complex, a sports project constructed in mid-1980s with assistance from China.
