China Daily | Updated: 2008-12-09 07:47

Riot police fired tear gas at youths smashing storefronts and throwing rocks at a police station in the Greek port city of Thessaloniki yesterday, one of scattered confrontations around the country on a third day of rioting sparked by the fatal police shooting of a teenager in Athens.

Gangs of youths overturned trash cans and set them on fire in Thessaloniki, one of several cities where rioting began on Saturday.

Running battles between riot police firing tear gas and about 400 high school students throwing rocks also broke out yesterday morning in Veria, a town about 60 km west of Thessaloniki.
