Belfast riots: Twenty-two police hurt and bus hijacked
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-14117801

Twenty-two police officers were injured during rioting in Belfast on Monday night.

A bus was hijacked and driven at police during the disturbances ahead of the annual Twelfth of July celebrations.

Crowds of nationalists also threw petrol bombs and masonry at police during serious rioting in the west of the city.

Fifty-one plastic bullets were fired in response by police in the Broadway and Oldpark areas.
