| Quetta-style rioting in Belfast... |
| 2002-08-16 |
| Rioting broke out at a sectarian flashpoint in east Belfast late Thursday when rival mobs each consisting of about 200 people threw gasoline bombs across a "peaceline" separating Protestant and Catholic communities. Alfie McCrory, a community worker in the city's Protestant Cluan Place, said that a woman had been seriously injured by a blast bomb, and a 15-year-old had been taken to hospital with injuries. The volatile area has seen Protestant loyalists and Catholic nationalists engaged in a series of clashes in recent months. I wonder what it feels like to be Just Like Pakistan? |
