Greek protesters attack house of ?ountry`s minister of state
A group of protesters on Sunday attacked a house of Greece`s Minister of State Alekos Flambouraris in one of Athens` neighborhoods, local media reported.
According to the Proto Thema newspaper, some 40 people attacked the house at 4:30 a.m. local time (01:30 GMT) with stones and Molotov cocktails.

The newspaper added that police had rapidly responded to the attack, but one police officer was injured.

Flambouraris` house has been under police protection, as it had already been the target of protesters` attacks twice. The minister classified one of attempts to fire his house as a terrorist attack.

Greece has been hit by anti-austerity protests for months, as country`s authorities implement highly unpopular reforms, including pension cuts and tax hikes in order to receive international aid to maintain Athens` economy.
