Three injured in Belfast rioting

TWO police officers and a paramedic were injured last night, as sectarian fighting broke out in flashpoint areas of Belfast.

Up to 200 rival Catholics and Protestants threw stones, bottles and fireworks as the disorder erupted in the Limestone Road area in the north of the city.

Police were also called to deal with major trouble in the nearby White City and Longlands interface, following yesterday’s high-tension Rangers and Celtic football match.
