Microsoft’s Greek headquarters were attacked by arsonists and government statisticians in Italy staged a sit-in pay protest as anti-austerity demonstrations continued to sweep the eurozone. Microsoft’s Athens offices were seriously damaged after armed arsonists drove a stolen truck through the entrance in the early hours of Wednesday morning, and then set fire to it. The office, where more than 100 people work, will be shut for the day. “It was very lucky that no personnel were in the building at the time,” said a police source. “We’ve had drive-by attacks but nothing like this. In style it is unprecedented.” Read the full story at The Guardian.
