Demonstrators opposing the Good Friday peace agreement firebombed a police car during a march on the agreement's 25th anniversary in Northern Ireland. Police called for calm and said no officers were injured in the attack during an otherwise peaceful demonstration. Police had warned in advance that officers could be attacked in the Creggan neighbourhood 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.
