Greek violence spreads as riot police battle protesters across Europe Riots sparked by the death of a Greek schoolboy who was shot by police spread across Europe last night. (from mailonsunday.co.uk)
Greek violence spreads across Europe Suspected anarchist protests which have dogged Greece for the last week spread outside the country today, with mobs causing violent scenes in Italy, Spain, Russia, Denmark and Turkey. Greek diplomatic missions were vandalised in the attacks, while police, local authority and media representatives were also targeted in what appeared a co-ordinated escalation. The upsurge took place as protests continued in Greece following the killing last Saturday of Alexandros Grigoropoulos. (from independent.ie)

I like the analysis at theIrishBulletin.blogspot.com: Torching banks? Clashes near Parliament? Attacking diplomatic vehicles? Yesterday, I heard that ten banks had been attacked, and it seems strange that all of this is happening solely over last Saturday’s shooting. Indeed, it is a perfect pretext for the Greek authorities and the media – not to mention their counterparts over here – who fear that their cosy relationship with the international clique of banking criminals may result in them hanging from shiny lamp-posts from Washington to Dublin to Sydney.
