Cairo, Rabi'II 21, 1436, Feb 10, 2015, SPA -- An Egyptian prosecutor says the police have arrested 21 soccer fans in the wake of a deadly stampede at a Cairo soccer stadium, and accused them of attacking policemen and damaging police cars. Prosecutor Mohammed Seif said on Tuesday that the 21 fans are in custody, though no formal charges have been raised so far. The stampede erupted on Sunday night after police fired tear gas at hundreds of fans waiting in a fenced, narrow corridor to enter a military stadium in eastern Cairo for a key league game. Twenty-two people were killed in the mayhem, AP reported. --SPA 18:37 LOCAL TIME 15:37 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
