New Greek riots erupt around shot boy's funeral

Riot police fought running battles with mourners after the funeral today of the Greek teenager whose shooting by officers set off waves of rioting across the country.

Police fired tear gas to dispel dozens of youths throwing stones and sticks and setting rubbish bins on fire near the burial of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos, whose death on Saturday sparked the rioting. Dozens of locals gathered on the streets, shouting at police to stop firing gas in the residential area.
