Senegal football fans home after royal pardon
Dakar: A group of Senegalese football supporters jailed following their country’s chaotic, violence-plagued Africa Cup of Nations final in Morocco in January returned home Sunday after being pardoned by the Moroccan king. King Mohammed VI granted the fans a pardon “on humanitarian grounds” on the occasion of the Muslim holiday of Eid Al-Adha, Morocco’s royal court said Saturday.

When they returned, they gleefully watched Morocco miss their penalty, and went on to score a 94th-minute winner. In February, Moroccan courts sentenced 18 Senegalese supporters held in Morocco since the final to prison terms ranging from three months to a year for hooliganism. Three were released from jail in mid-April after
