Greece riots rise again as youths and police fight

In Athens, Greece, youths clashed with police on  Friday .In the first major act of the Greek government, they vowed to crack down on violent protesters after a month of nationwide riots. A group of demonstrators went away from a rally in thousands  protesting government education reforms and hurled rocks and flares at riot police who shot out tear gas and flash grenades. At least six protesters were detained. Costas Karamanlis said that tougher policing was needed after riots were sparked by the police’s fatal shooting of a teenager on Dec. 6.
