Greek austerity clashes video: Protesters vent anger at police


Thousands of Greek citizens took to the streets of Athens once again throughout Sunday, protesting painful austerity on the eve of a crucial eurozone meeting in Brussels that could determine Greece's salvation from financial meltdown in March and its future in the common currency zone. At the city's main square youths threw rocks and flares at riot police, prompting law enforcement to disperse the crowd by firing tear gas. Some 60 people have been detained, according to a police official.
