Greece: Stones thrown, tear gas fired at Athens march

Stone-throwing youths are attacking riot police, who are responding with tear gas and stun grenades, at the heart of a march through Athens to protest the Greek government's harsh austerity measures.

 

No injuries or arrests were immediately reported following Wednesday's clashes as thousands marched through the Greek capital, during a 24-hour general strike that brought most public services to a halt. This month, the Socialist government is planning to pass further cutbacks aimed at saving an estimated (EURO)23 billion ($33 billion) through 2015. (AP)
