Twin wildfires near Athens kill 20, gut vacation resorts

ATHENS, Greece — Gale-fanned wildfires raged through holiday resorts near Greece's capital, killing at least 20 people by early Tuesday and injuring more than 104, including 11 in serious condition, in the deadliest blaze to hit the country in more than a decade.

Greece sought international help through the European Union as the fires on either side of Athens left lines of cars torched, charred farms and forests, and sent hundreds of people racing to beaches to be evacuated by navy vessels, yachts and fishing boats.
