Egypt murder charges over Port Said football riot

[dipsydoodle]

Egypt's chief prosecutor has charged 75 people with murder or negligence over a riot which followed a football match.

At least 74 people were killed when rival fans clashed after a game in Port Said between top-tier clubs al-Masry and al-Ahly on 1 February.

Nine police officers are among those facing charges, say reports.

Rumours that the police had failed to intervene sparked days of clashes across the country in which a further 16 people died.

Some of our firms in the UK might be considered to be a bit on the violent side but they don't go that far.
