Greek PM denounces deaths of bank workers in riots
None
The Greek prime minister has denounced what he called the "murder" of three bank workers killed when the building they were in was torched during protests in Athens against harsh new austerity measures. Prime Minister George Papandreou vowed Wednesday that those responsible for the deaths would be found and brought to justice. He told Parliament that "a demonstration is one thing and murder is quite another."
The two women and a man were killed during demonstrations by tens of thousands who marched through Athens. The national strike was held to protest the austerity measures announced last weekend so that Greece can get a (EURO) 110 billion ($144 billion) bailout from the International Monetary fund and other European nations.
