Athens on Fire: Cars torched in fierce Greece street battle

Youths hurled rocks and petrol bombs at police on Monday during clashes at a student rally marking two years since the fatal police shooting of a teenage boy that sparked Greece's worst riots in decades. At least five people were injured - including a bystander hit in the face by a flying rock - and more than 40 youths were detained by police. Sporadic violence lasting more than six hours occurred in several parts of central Athens after some 4,000 people marched to parliament to commemorate the death of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos in 2008.
