Egypt braces for further unrest after football violence

Egypt is bracing itself for further unrest following Wednesday night's violence at a football match in Port Said, with marches planned to protest against the police failure to prevent or contain the fighting that left 74 dead and hundreds injured. Trouble flared after al-Ahly, one of Egypt's most successful teams, were beaten 3-1 by al-Masry. Television footage showed players running from the pitch chased by fans. A small group of riot police tried to protect the players, but appeared to be overwhelmed and unable to stop fans from attacking players. Add your comment
