BELFAST (Reuters) - Rioters in Northern attacked police with bricks, bottles and other missiles on Monday, wounding one officer on a day of parades by the pro-British Orange Order, police said.
"A number of petrol bombs have been also thrown at police," police said.
A Reuters reporter on the scene said police responded to the rioting by hundreds of youths in the mainly nationalist Ardoyne area with water cannons and plastic bullets. At least one teenager among the crowd was taken to the hospital.
