32 Police Officers Injured In Belfast Riots

Northern Ireland's police commander says 32 officers have been wounded and reinforcements are arriving from Britain to combat rioting by Protestant extremists inspired by the Orange Order brotherhood. Chief Constable Matt Baggott says 400 officers from England, Scotland and Wales are being deployed Saturday on Belfast's streets to help prevent any direct Catholic-Protestant clashes a day after the Orangemen's annual July 12 parades descended into chaos in two parts of the capital.
