Deadly riots in Egypt after football hooligan death sentences Street battles have erupted in Egypt for a third night, with at least 32 people killed and hundreds injured. In Port Said, youths vented their anger over a court decision to put 21 men to death for their roles in last February's football stadium disaster. The violent pitch and stand invasion left seventy-nine people dead.
