CAIRO: Security forces have been blamed for the violence that left at least 75 people dead in post-football match violence in Port Said on February 1, a parliamentary committee investigating the attack said on Sunday. The full findings of the report are to be released later on Sunday when parliament returns to session. According to preliminary results published in local Egyptian Arabic press, the interior ministry has received the lion's share of blame, with videos and witnesses detailing the failure of the police to intervene to stop the violence from escalating. The clashes began when al-Masry fans attacked the Ultras of al-Ahly following their 3-1 win. The Ahly television network has since reported that as many as 150 people had been killed in the attack, which saw people thrown from atop the stadium, beaten to death and knifed. The report will likely accuse the Port Said security of negligence as it failed to respond to the violence, which could be seen boiling towards the end of the match. The violence shocked the nation, which led to massive protests against the police and military junta the following day in Cairo and Suez. Those clashes led to at least 15 more deaths and thousands injured as angry fans and activists called for the end of military rule in Egypt.
