ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Clashes have broken out for a third night outside Roma settlements near Athens over the police shooting of a teenage Roma boy in northern Greece. Authorities ordered road closures lasting several hours northwest of the capital after youths from the settlements set fire to tires and trash bins. Earlier, police carried out multiple raids at settlements in the area and made seven arrests for drug possession, while detaining another four people for questioning, authorities said. The government issued a public appeal for calm.
