The protestors carried a black piece of cloth as a sign of mourning, and daubed messages in red paint on the pavement and windows of a nearby building. The demonstration was organized by student groups. Protestors also held up white balloons for the victims, blocking traffic in the center of the capital. Recovery teams spent a third day scouring the wreckage in Tempe, 380 kilometers (235 miles) north of Athens, where a passenger train slammed into a freight carrier just before midnight Tuesday. The train from Athens to Thessaloniki was carrying 350 passengers, many of them students returning from raucous Carnival celebrations. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
