Riots Continue In Egypt Since Wednesday's Soccer Riot



Police Kill 4 Protesters As Egyptians Unleash Fury Over Soccer Riot Deaths -- New York Times

CAIRO — The police in several Egyptian cities battled for the second day on Friday with thousands of die-hard soccer fans angry at the military-led government’s failure to prevent dozens of deaths at a soccer riot in Port Said this week.

There were reports that the police in Cairo were firing birdshot at the crowd, and The Associated Press reported that at least one demonstrator had been killed. In Suez, two protesters were wounded by birdshot and two others by live ammunition, the Health Ministry said. Three had died by Friday, according to hospital officials.

In Cairo, more than 600 demonstrators were injured by tear gas and stampeding crowds.
