Anti-Government demonstrations in Athens are turning ugly as tens of thousands of protestors have taken to the streets, clashing with police, burning vehicles and throwing petrol bombs.
News services report 3 Bank workers have died in a petrol bombing incident and just reported 1 policeman has become a casualty.
Earlier today the Parliment building was stormed as legislators inside work of additional austerity measures to qualify for European loans.
Labor Unions promise to continue striking and the situation is spinning out of control as tempers flare.
