Hundreds killed, hurt in stampede at Indonesia football match

At least 130 people have been killed and dozens more injured in a riot and a stampede at an Indonesian football stadium. The tragedy on Saturday night in the eastern city of Malang was one of the world's deadliest sporting stadium disasters. Police in East Java province said thousands of fans of Arema FC stormed the pitch at Kanjuruhan Stadium after their team lost 3-2 to Persebaya Surabaya. Officers tried to control the “riots” by firing tear gas, triggering a stampede as panicked fans rushed to an exit gate. President Joko Widodo has ordered a review of security at football games. The FIFA president has called the stampede a 'tragedy beyond comprehension.'
