"I would like to express my deepest condoleances to Egypt and the Egyptian people after the tragical events at the football match in Port Said yesterday evening. My thoughts especially go to those who lost family members or near ones", says Minister of Foreign Affairs Jonas Gahr Støre.
At least 74 people were killed and hundreds injured at unrest during and after a football match in the Egyptian Port Said.
"The tragical events makes information about what happened necessary. I hope that an independent enquiry soon will take place to shed light on the event", Støre said.
