LONDON — Demonstrators opposing the Good Friday peace agreement that ended three decades of hostilities in Northern Ireland firebombed a police car Monday in Londonderry during a march on the agreement’s 25th anniversary, officials said.
Police called for calm and said no officers were injured in the attack during an otherwise peaceful demonstration. No arrests were reported.
Police had warned in advance that officers could be attacked in the Creggan neighborhood during the Easter Monday parade, for which official permission had not been granted, by republicans who opposed the US-brokered peace deal reached on April 10, 1998.
