3 Killed in Greek Protests
--------------------------



In Greece, three people were killed Wednesday in rioting over a new
round of austerity measures in response to the Greek economic crisis.
Lawmakers are set to vote today on additional wage cuts and tax hikes in
order to secure billions of dollars in international loans. Clashes
broke out as over 100,000 people took part in a nationwide strike. The
victims were killed when a breakaway group of demonstrators set fire to
a bank in Athens.
