Violent Attacks Target Police Ahead of Biden's Northern Ireland Visit

Masked people attacked a police vehicle with Molotov cocktails and other objects at a parade opposing the Good Friday peace accord in the Northern Irish city of Londonderry. The incident comes a day before US President Joe Biden arrives in Belfast. Northern Ireland commemorated the 25th anniversary of the end of the Troubles on Easter Monday, which is a traditional day of protest for the Republican camp based on the Easter Rising of 1916, with which Republicans wanted to gain Ireland's independence from Great Britain. Some 3,700 people were killed during three decades of sectarian strife between Catholics and Protestants.
