One person has been killed and dozens more suffocated in a horror stampede at a stadium in Basra, Iraq.
Locals reported that 27 people had been left unable to breathe and sustained fractures during the incident in front of the Palm Trunk Stadium.
Thousands of Iraqis without tickets had gathered at dawn for this evening's Arabian Gulf Cup match with Oman, hoping to attend anyway when some began to push, according to an interior ministry official.
