Violence erupts as 2-day strike shuts down Greece
None
Greek anger over new austerity measures and layoffs erupted into violence outside parliament on Wednesday, as demonstrators hurled chunks of marble and gasoline bombs at riot police, who responded with tear gas and stun grenades.
The violence echoed across Athens, as at least 100,000 people marched through the Greek capital on the first day of a two-day general strike that unions described as the largest protest in years. (AP)
