Ballymena (United Kingdom) (AFP) – Violence flares for a second night in a Northern Irish town after what police have called “racially motivated” attacks, sparked by the arrest of two teenagers accused of the attempted rape of a young girl. Five people have been arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour while a sixth was detained on suspicion of disorderly behaviour in Newtownabbey, a town 30 kilometres away, one of four other places including Belfast where protests erupted.
