Five days of rioting in Greece

Flames from a garbage bin set alight are seen in the foreground, as a statue of goddess Athena is seen at the Athens Academy, during riots in central Athens, Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2008. Protesters attacked Athens' main courthouse with firebombs during a hearing for police officers whose shooting of a teenager set off rioting that appeared to be tapering off Wednesday even as a general strike paralyzed the country.
