Protestant rioters in Belfast, Northern Ireland, pelted police with bottles and stones, injuring 23 officers and burning two police cars, police said. The attacks came at the end of a march across the province by thousands of Protestants opposed to the Nov. 15 British-Irish accord that gives Dublin a formal consultative role in the running of British-ruled Northern Ireland. The incident happened outside a heavily guarded building at Maryfield on the outskirts of Belfast occupied by the secretariat of British and Irish civil servants set up as part of the accord.
