Over 120 Dead in Africa’s Worst Soccer Tragedy

Ghana mourned on Thursday for at least 120 people killed in Africa’s worst football tragedy, the soccer-mad continent’s third deadly stadium disaster in a month. Authorities promised an inquiry into the stampede, wich spectators said was triggered by police firing teargas after fans hurled missiles at the end of Wednesday’s game between two of Ghana’s leading teams, the arch-rivals Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
