Scuffles between protesters and police break out in Londonderry in Northern Ireland.<br/> <br />On Monday, the Olympic torch relay was interrupted here, during a dissident Republican protest over the treatment of prisoners.<br/> <br />One man was arrested after the incident, which took place as the flame was about to pass the peace bridge linking divided communities in the city.<br/> <br />No one was injured, and the torch was re-routed.<br/> <br />Security was already tight in the city after explosives were thrown at police.<br/> <br />Despite this, Northern Ireland is a very peaceful place compared to a generation earlier, when Catholic Irish nationalists and pro-British Protestants fought a protracted and bloody war.<br/> <br />The torch was welcomed here Saturday by both Protestant and Nationalist political leaders, who now together lead the government of the British-controlled province.<br/> <br />Travis Brecher, Reuters
