Bomb injures 3 on tense Northern Ireland parade day

None

A small bomb exploded in a rubbish bin in the Northern Ireland town of Lurgan on Saturday, causing minor injuries to three children, police said.

 

The explosion took place on a day of heightened tension in Northern Ireland as the Apprentice Boys, a Protestant organisation, staged their annual parade in Londonderry - an event that has triggered Catholic protests in the past. (Reuters)
