Belfast riots – Paramilitary ‘element’ suspected in disorder following an anti-immigration protest
Paramilitaries are suspected to have been an “element” in the latest disorder in Belfast. Police came under sustained attack and the victim of a suspected hate crime is in a serious condition in hospital after violence in Belfast on Monday night. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said at one stage petrol was poured over a police Land Rover and set alight. Police deployed two attenuating energy projectiles (AEPs), with one rioter struck on the hand. A 15-year-old boy has been charged with two counts of riot, and possession of a weapon with intent to commit an indictable offence, police said. He will appear before Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. Credit to :
