Northern Ireland violence flares for second day

BELFAST (Reuters) - Violence flared for a second night around traditional Orange Day parades in Northern Ireland, with police coming under attack from petrol bombs, fireworks, stones and bottles and responding with water cannon.






A total 32 police were injured on Friday night in what Chief Constable Matt Baggott described as "shocking and disgraceful" violence, including head, eye and leg wounds.

Another 400 reinforcements were being brought in from Britain as trouble continued through the weekend. More than 20 people have been arrested.
