Greek students storm British embassy in Athens protest
About 5,000 Greek and Greek Cypriot students massed outside the British embassy in downtown Athens to protest British policy in Cyprus. They smashed windows, threw Molotov cocktails, and overturned a diplomat's car, injuring four students and a policeman as police containment kept the scene from entering the embassy. The march shifted to the American embassy as chants of Hands off Cyprus rang out and a student leader urged action against England and the United States. A government statement condemned the violence and warned it harms Cypriot interests.
