Egypt's football federation has been dissolved from violence erupting
after a match, leaving At least 74 people dead, and hundreds more
injured in Port Said. Supporters of the home team Al Masry and
Egypt's top club Al Ahly stormed the pitch and scores of fans were
stabbed to death and others suffocated after they became trapped in a
corridor as they tried to flee. The clashes, which are the worst case
of football violence in the country and the deadliest worldwide since
1996, have sparked fresh concerns about Egypt's stability. Many
Egyptians have blamed the police and the ruling military for failing
to prevent the rioting, amid claims the security lapse was intended to
stoke uncertainty.
