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