Lawmakers are set to vote today on additional wage cuts and tax hikes in order to secure billions of dollars in international loans. Clashes broke out as over 100,000 people took part in a nationwide strike. The victims were killed when a breakaway group of demonstrators set fire to a bank in Athens.
