Greek MPs pass austerity plan
Greece's parliament has passed a controversial package of austerity measures, demanded by the eurozone and IMF in return for a 130bn-euro bailout to avoid default, BBC reported.
The vote was carried by 199 votes in favour, with 74 MPs voting against.
Coalition parties expelled over 40 deputies for failing to back the bill.
The vote came amid violent scenes in capital, Athens, and elsewhere, with protesters outside parliament throwing stones and petrol bombs.
Police fired tear gas and several buildings were set on fire in Athens.
Dozens of police officers and at least 37 protesters were injured, 23 suspected rioters were arrested and a further 25 detained, AP reported.
