As 20,000 police guarded the EU meeting in Athens, Greece, up to 8,000 anti-war protestors began smashing shops and burning banks. Police responded with tear gas and savage beatings, and were met with stones, bottles and Molotov cocktails. Several <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_771261.html"> undercover police</a> and agents provocateurs were beaten by protestors and expelled from the demonstration. The British, Italian and French embassies were all attacked, and British Airways&#8217; office was occupied.<br><br>

The day ended with 106 arrests, with many arrestees reporting police violence in custody. <a href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=63923&group=webcast">Newswire Story</a> <br><br>
