Greece Passes Austerity Bill, Rioters Burn Buildings

Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos won approval from parliament for austerity measures to secure an international bailout after at least 151 members of the chamber voted for the measure, according to a tally of votes. Ten buildings were set on fire in central Athens by protesters including a Starbucks Corp. cafe, a bank and a movie theater, a fire department spokesman said, speaking on the condition of anonymity in line with official policy.
