Athens public buildings on fire amid riots

Athens has seen two more of its public buildings torched by angry protesters as the police declare a "general state of alert" in the strike-ridden nation.

Protesters clashed with Greek police in Central Athens on Wednesday, using firebombs to set two more public buildings ablaze.

The police force has called on all its members, including those not on active duty, to help restore order after three people were killed in a petrol bomb attack on a bank in central Athens.

Athens austerity plans have triggered massive protests and strikes across the European nation, as they require tax increases and salary cuts.
