Various of clashes below Associated Press office on Amalias Avenue, tear gas exploding, demonstrators, riot police\u003cbr/\u003eGreek anger over new austerity measures erupted into flaming protests on Wednesday in Athens, as rioters tried to storm Parliament, hurled Molotov cocktails at police and torched buildings. \u003cbr/\u003eThree people were killed in the melee, trapped in a burning bank and Greece's prime minister  George Papandreou condemned the killings as \"murder.\" \u003cbr/\u003eTens of thousands of people took to the streets as part of nationwide strikes to protest new taxes and government\u003cbr/\u003espending cuts demanded by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other European nations before heavily indebted Greece gets a bailout to keep it from defaulting. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Athens, demonstrators chanted \"Thieves, thieves!\" as they attempted to break through a riot police cordon guarding Parliament and chased ceremonial guards away from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the building. \u003cbr/\u003eTear gas drifted across the city centre as rioters toss paving stones and fire bombs at police and firefighters struggled to put out the flames as at least two buildings were set on fire. \u003cbr/\u003eProtesters set up burning barricades and torched cars and a fire truck.\u003cbr/\u003eA Fire Brigade spokesman said three bodies were found in the wreckage of a Marfin Bank branch on the route of the protest march, and another five people were rescued from the burning building's balcony.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said that it was not clear whether those who died had suffocated from the smoke or burned to death.\u003cbr/\u003eParliament speaker Filipos Petsalnikos said two were women and the other a man, and Parliament held a minute of silence for the dead.\u003cbr/\u003eThe marches came amid a 24-hour nationwide general strike that grounded all flights to and from Greece, shut down ports, schools and government services and left hospitals working with emergency medical staff. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Acropolis and all other ancient sites were closed and journalists also walked off the job, suspending television and radio news broadcasts.\u003cbr/\u003eSome media, including state television and the Ta Nea newspaper Web site, later broke the strike to report on the deaths.\u003cbr/\u003eThe loans are aimed at preventing Athens' debt troubles from becoming a wider crisis for the euro by engulfing other financially troubled countries such as Spain and Portugal. \u003cbr/\u003eGreece faces a May 19 due date on debt it says it can't repay without the bailout.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the rioting underlined scepticism that the Greek government could keep up its end of the bargain, helping drive the euro below 1.29 US dollars for the first time in over a year.\u003cbr/\u003eUnion reaction until now had been relatively muted by Greece's volatile standards, although the country has been hit by a series of strikes. \u003cbr/\u003eBut anger mounted after Prime Minister George Papandreou on Sunday announced cuts in salaries and pensions for civil servants, and another round of consumer tax increases, as a condition of the bailout.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Berlin, Chancellor Angela Merkel urged parliament to quickly pass the country's share of the bailout - 22 billion (b) euros (28.4 billion (b) US dollars) over three years - by Friday.\u003cbr/\u003eViolence also broke out in the northern city of Thessaloniki, where another 20,000 people marched through the city centre, with youths smashing windows of stores and fast food restaurants.\u003cbr/\u003eThe outpouring of anger appeared much more spontaneous than the frequent set piece battles between police and anarchist youths who often spark violence during Greek demonstrations.\u003cbr/\u003eGreek unions concede that the cash-strapped government was forced to increase consumer taxes and slash spending, including cutting salaries and pensions for civil servants.\u003cbr/\u003eBut they say low-income Greeks will suffer disproportionately from the measures, which aim to save 30 billion (b) euros (40 billion (b) US dollars) - the country's current budget deficit - through 2012.\u003cbr/\u003eIMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn warned that the crisis could spread to other countries despite the rescue package's efforts to contain it.\u003cbr/\u003eDespite the strike, the draft bill of the new austerity measures is to be voted on Thursday. \u003cbr/\u003ePrime Minister George Papandreou's Socialists hold a comfortable majority of 160 in the 300-seat Parliament, and with a simple majority of 151 votes needed, the bill is expected to be passed easily.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
