In central Athens, clashes erupted outside Parliament, as dozens of hooded youths threw fire bombs and stones at police, who responded with tear gas. Three people were hurt, police said. The violence broke out as thousands took to the streets of the capital after unions launched a two-day general strike against the planned austerity measures. Police said some 7,000 people took part in the demonstration. Another 10,000 Communist supporters held a separate, peaceful march.
