An Algerian woman shows photographs of what the newspaper claimed were Algerian football fans wounded during a World Cup qualifier between Egypt and Algeria in Cairo, in Algiers November 16, 2009. FIFA should have postponed Saturday's tense World Cup qualifier after the visiting team bus was attacked in Cairo, Algeria's midfielder Khaled Lemmouchia said. The incident prompted FIFA to ask Egypt for written guarantees confirming additional security measures to protect the Algerian squad, while the Egyptian FA claimed the incident was staged by the Algerians.
