STORYLINE
Hundreds of rioters battled police in central Athens early Sunday, fire-bombing a credit reporting agency and attacking the city's Christmas tree two weeks after the police shooting of a teenager set off Greece's worst unrest in decades.
The violence followed a memorial gathering where 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos died on December 6.
The rioters, using the National Technical University of Athens as a base, launched attacks against police, throwing rocks and petrol bombs and erecting roadblocks.
Security forces are prevented by law from entering the university grounds unless the school administration gives the go-ahead, but so far no permission has been given.
Grigoropoulos' fatal shooting touched a nerve among Greek youth, who took to the streets to protest what they see as random police violence.
