Samaras sworn in as new Greek PM

Names of other candidates to join cabinet still being debated

Greek conservative party head Antonis Samaras was sworn in as prime minister on Wednesday at the helm of a three-party coalition that will uphold the country's international bailout commitments.

The move ends a protracted political crisis that had cast grave doubt over the country's future in Europe's joint currency and threatened to plunge Europe deeper into a financial crisis with global repercussions.
