At least seventy-four people were killed and hundreds were injured in deadly clashes that took place Wednesday afternoon during a soccer match between Al-Ahli and Al-Masry.

Eye-witnesses have told Reuters that Port Said fans attacked Al-Ahli team and its fans after the match. A witness attributed the attack to a large poster carried by Al-Ahli fans which offended the other team's city.

Earlier today, thousands gathered at Cairo's train station, waiting for the Port Said train carrying the victims of the deadly clashes to arrive. The protesters called for justice and the removal of military rule. Additionally, two military planes carrying victims' bodies and some injured arrived at Cairo airport after the clashes.

The People's Assembly has held an emergency session while Prime Minister, Kamal Al-Ganzouri, has also decided to hold a meeting that includes security heads to discuss the clashes.

Meanwhile, Attorney General, Abdel Magid Mahmoud, has travelled to Port Said where the deadly clashes took place, reported Reuters.

A state of mourning has been announced to be in effect until Sunday and Egypt's Foreign Affairs Minister, Mohamed Amr, has ordered the flags on all embassies and consulates to fly at half-staff until Saturday, while state television have placed black mourning badges to honor the victims.

Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, head of the leading military council, has promised to bring to justice those who are responsible for igniting the deadly clashes.

Tantawy said to Al-Ahly Sports Channel, "These events could have taken place anywhere else in the world... those responsible will be brought to justice. If someone is attempting to create instability, they will fail..."

Tantawi then explained that all the government can do now is give compensation to the families of the victims, reported the Middle East News Agency (MENA).

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) has accused the country's rulers of failing to protect the citizens, indicating that someone is behind the "massacre".

The Brotherhood added in their statement, published on their official website, that "ambiguous planning is behind the unjustified massacre... the failure of authority to protect the citizens can not just be described as neglect."

The MB expressed their fear that the incident was an attempt to take revenge from the people for revolting.

In an emergency meeting Thursday, Al-Wafd's Al-Said Al-Badawy, has called for bringing to justice anyone who is responsible for causing the deaths, or participating in the massacre of Port Said. Al-Badawy asked the People's Assembly to remove the authority from the current government and form a revolutionary government elected by the people.

Commenting on the bloody clashes, Al-Wasat Party said, "On the first anniversary of the 'Camel Battle' whose criminals have yet to be brought to justice, we are witnessing another bloodbath... while the criminals are still on the loose."

Presidential candidate, Hamdin Sabahy, said, "Even if the incident was not planned, it still proves the complete failure to protect the souls and blood of Egyptian citizens - despite the presence of security guards who helplessly watched the events unfold."

In a statement under the title, "Not soccer clashes, but political crime", Sabahy added that those who rule and manage the country are responsible for the bloodbath, starting with the SCAF to the government and its Ministry of Interior.

Former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, has called for the reformation of all security systems of the country.

Youth movement, April 6, has accused the SCAF for being directly responsible for the "security crisis", adding that it shows a continuation of the SCAF's "chaos policy".
