A GREEK soldier standing guard outside an Olympic venue north of Athens was shot dead by a colleague during a game of Russian roulette early today, police said.

The 25-year soldier, Antonis Syros, received a revolver shot in his head by 20-year-old Christos Chloros, a cadet policeman.

Police said in a written statement that Mr Syros and Mr Chloros had been "jokingly" aiming at each other with the guns they were holding when Mr Chloros' revolver went off.

According to a police source speaking on condition of anonymity, the two men had been playing Russian roulette.

The incident occurred at 4.10am (local time) outside a camp in the forest of Mount Parnitha, where mountain bike athletes and officials are hosted.
