Thousands risk their lives to run with Pamplona's bulls

About 2,000 people joined in the world's most famous running of the bulls yesterday, making a perilous dash through the narrow cobblestone streets of Pamplona while being chased. Six people, including an American woman aged 19, went to hospital after being gored on the early-morning run. Paul Staines, 37, from London, was hit in the face. Jose Maria Perez, 32, a Spaniard, was the most seriously hurt, with a thigh wound. The unusually high number on the course slowed the run to seven minutes 30 seconds, more than twice the normal time, giving the bulls more chance to inflict injury on the revellers.
