STORYLINE
Groups of rock-throwing youths continued to clash with riot police into the evening outside Parliament in Athens on Monday during a third day of violence protesting against the fatal police shooting of a teenager.
Mobs also attacked police stations across the city and stoned the Interior Ministry.
Schools across Athens and the neighbouring port city of Piraeus remained closed.
Scattered confrontations between police and protesting youths broke out around the country on Monday, and in Berlin and London, youths protested at Greek diplomatic missions.
Although the circumstances surrounding 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos' death on Saturday were still unclear on Monday the coroner involved in the case confirmed the student died from a bullet wound.
Coroner Christos Lefkidis said in a statement to media that "the cause of death is a non-exit chest wound, caused by a small-bore pistol bullet resulting in homicide."
Two policemen claimed they had come under attack by a group of about 30 youths, and that three warning shots and a stun grenade were fired when they sought out the group a few minutes later.
But witnesses have disputed the officers' accounts, telling Greek media that the policeman intended to shoot the youths.
The two policemen have been arrested and charged, one with murder and the other as an accomplice.
Some of the worst rioting Greece has seen in years, much carried out by self-styled anarchists, broke out across the country within hours of the fatal shooting of the 15-year-old boy on Saturday night in the often volatile central Athens district of Exarchia.
Nearly 30 people have been injured, while authorities have said 37 policemen were injured in Athens over the weekend by objects thrown at them by protesters.
Violence often breaks out between riot police and anarchists during demonstrations in Greece.
Anarchist groups are also blamed for late night fire-bombings of targets such as banks and diplomatic vehicles.
The attacks rarely cause injuries.
The self-styled anarchist movement partly traces its roots in the resistance to Greece's 1967-74 military dictatorship.
The youths tend to espouse general anti-capitalist and anti-establishment principles and have long-running animosity toward the police.
The country has seen frequent and sometimes violent demonstrations recently against the increasingly unpopular conservative government of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, which has been rocked by a land swap scandal and has struggled to push through economic reforms.
