Anger as forces' tribute disrupted

Jun 27 2009

Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy has condemned the "sickening" protests which caused disruption at an Armed Forces Day parade.

Police confirmed that arrests were made and one person was injured after trouble flared at the event in Glasgow.

The protesters, believed to have been an Irish Republican group, are understood to have started chanting while a service was taking place in George Square, forcing police to close off nearby George Street.
