Many injured in riots
At least 40 police officers were injured during rioting in north Belfast on Thursday night that followed the arrests of six men in connection with a feud between Protestant guerrillas, police said yesterday. The hijacked driver's cab of a truck was driven at police lines during the rioting, and petrol bombs, paint bombs and fireworks thrown during the disturbance. A number of other vehicles, including a bus, were stolen and burnt, police said. The rioting came after police made six arrests in connection with the recent murders of three men, part of a feud between extremists who want Northern Ireland to remain British-ruled.
