Thousands of riot police gathered in Athens to confront the peace protesters who were trying to reach the buildings where Condoleezza Rice was holding talks with her Greek counterpart. The BBC is reporting that protesters were throwing petrol bombs and using sticks as riot police advanced on them, the air thick with tear gas.
