Wide of police headquarters STORYLINE Groups of rock-throwing youths made sporadic attacks on police stations across Athens, stoned the Interior Ministry and clashed with riot police outside Parliament on Monday in a third day of violence protesting the fatal police shooting of a teenager. Dozens of youths were still barricaded in two university campuses in the city. Youths also protested outside a police station, leaving behind graffiti laden with expletives, and school books scattered on the doorsteps. Under Greek law, the police are barred from entering university campuses. More demonstrations were planned in the capital later on Monday. Schools across Athens and the neighbouring port city of Piraeus remained closed in mourning for the dead teenager. Also on Monday, 15 Greek youths occupied the Greek consulate in Berlin in a protest against the shooting, officials said. The circumstances surrounding Alexandros Grigoropoulos' death on Saturday were still unclear. Initial reports from the official autopsy are believed to show he had been killed by a bullet. Two policemen claimed they had come under attack by a group of about 30 youths, and that three warning shots and a stun grenade were fired when they sought out the group a few minutes later. But witnesses have disputed the officers' accounts, telling Greek media that the policeman intended to shoot the youths. The two policemen have been arrested and charged, one with murder and the other as an accomplice. Some of the worst rioting Greece has seen in years, much carried out by self-styled anarchists, broke out across the country within hours of the fatal shooting of the 15-year-old boy on Saturday night in the often volatile central Athens district of Exarchia. Nearly 30 people have been injured, while authorities have said 37 policemen were injured in Athens over the weekend by objects thrown at them by protesters. Violence often breaks out between riot police and anarchists during demonstrations in Greece. Anarchist groups are also blamed for late night fire-bombings of targets such as banks and diplomatic vehicles. The attacks rarely cause injuries. The self-styled anarchist movement partly traces its roots in the resistance to Greece's 1967-74 military dictatorship. The youths tend to espouse general anti-capitalist and anti-Establishment principles, and have long-running animosity toward the police. The country has seen frequent and sometimes violent demonstrations recently against the increasingly unpopular conservative government of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, which has been rocked by a land swap scandal and has struggled to push through economic reforms.
