Egyptian police used tear gas to disperse protesters in Cairo and two people were reported killed in Suez as unrest persisted following violence at a soccer match this week that left more than 70 dead.

Crowds tried to storm police headquarters in both cities, the state-run Middle East News Agency reported. Demonstrators blame police for failing to prevent the violence that followed a soccer match on Feb. 1 in the coastal city of Port Said.
