Athens burns over austerity measures

Tens of thousands rally in downtown Athens where several buildings were set alight after protests turned violent.
Rioters set fire to buildings and battled police in downtown Athens as the Greek Parliament prepared to vote on Prime Minister Lucas Papademos's $160 billion austerity package to avert the nation's collapse.
Up to seven buildings - including a Starbucks cafe, a bank and a cinema, as well as other stores in downtown Athens - were set on fire, a fire department spokesman said, speaking on the condition of anonymity in line with official policy.
The buildings were near a bank that was set on fire in May 2010, killing three bank employees, during a general strike against Greece's first bailout package.
