Northern Ireland police officers were attacked with gasoline bombs and paint-filled missiles in a Catholic neighborhood of Belfast for a second successive night. Police officers were attacked on July 13 with gasoline bombs and stones in Ardoyne just before a Protestant parade passed the area. The parade was one of hundreds in the U.K. province to celebrate the July 12 victory of the Protestant King William over the Roman Catholic King James at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. The annual July parades have caused rioting in Northern Ireland since the 1990s, as Catholics protest the routing of the marches through their districts and Protestants insist on their processions going through Catholic neighborhoods. - BLOOMBERG.com
