Polish Independence Day Parade Turns Violent Fourth Year In A Row

Tens of thousands marched through Warsaw Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the anniversary of Polish independence, and for the fourth consecutive year the procession erupted in violence. Riot police in the Polish capital used water cannon and fired rubber bullets into the air when several hundred masked men broke away from the march and attacked them with stones and flares, following peaceful celebrations earlier in the day led by President Bronisław Komorowski, according to several news reports.
