More than 10,000 people demonstrated in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki on Saturday to protest economic reforms. The protest, called by labor unions, was largely peaceful, but a small group of demonstrators damaged a bank with a gasoline bomb and smashed a nearby storefront, police said. Unions rally against Greek govt. Police fired tear gas to disperse the violent protesters. Authorities said 10 demonstrators were arrested. Brief clashes also broke out between two rival protest groups. Police had deployed some 2,000 officers to keep protesters away from an international trade fair, where Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis was due to speak on the state of Greece's economy. The annual speech has repeatedly been marred by violence in recent years.
