The news of the protesters' deaths, allegedly at the hands of Chinese police officers, has left police in London fearing Sunday's 31-mile torch relay route could draw both pro-Tibet protesters and Chinese students, The Times of London reported Saturday.

More than 80,000 people expected to attend the Olympic event, The Times said.

Pro-Tibet campaigners vowed to increase protests of the Beijing Games immediately following Friday's deadly protest in China's Sichuan province, The Times said.

Chinese paramilitary police reportedly attempted to quell a protest by Tibetan monks and villagers by using force, leaving eight people dead.
