Irish republicans abuse british troops

[Nicholas]

Violent protests that disrupted a parade in Glasgow to acknowledge the courage of the country's troops were last night condemned as "sickening" by Scottish secretary Jim Murphy.

Trouble flared when the march was hijacked by an Irish republican group chanting sectarian songs. Scotland's inaugural Armed Forces Day parade was being led by veterans' associations and was conceived in part to pay tribute to soldiers of the Black Watch, who last night were embroiled in a dangerous operation to recapture Taliban-held territory in Helmand province.

The protestors are understood to have started chanting while a service was taking place in George Square yesterday afternoon. As fighting broke out shortly after midday, police took 12 men and a woman, all aged between 20 and 30, into custody. A 24-year-old man received a head injury in the fighting and was last night receiving treatment in Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The city's George Street was later closed off following exchanges between parade supporters and protestors. ...........
