NYTimes: A large demonstration passed the United States Embassy in Athens on the anniversary of the students' uprising against the American-backed military junta in 1973. Thousands of demonstrators marched in pouring rain to mark the bloody revolt. Riot police officers ran from the flames of a firebomb outside the American Embassy in Athens during the demonstration. About 10,000 people braved a thunderstorm to mark the 35th anniversary of the student uprising against the military dictatorship that ruled Greece from 1967-74.
