Amman, Jordan -- Some 250 people were injured in violence after a soccer match in the Jordanian capital of Amman, officials said.
The incident began in the final minutes of a game between the Bedouin-backed al-Feisali team and the Palestinian-based al-Wehdat squad, when fans in the upper decks of the stadium began throwing bottles down into the crowd Friday night, the BBC said.
As the King Abdallah Stadium emptied, police said stone-throwing mobs surged over metal barricades and a stampede ensued, CNN reported.
Deputy Prime Minister Ayman Safadi said at least 25 of the injured were police and security officers and an official inquiry was under way.

New Brunswick, N.J. -- The manager of a New Jersey car dealership says a Florida minister is getting the car he was promised if he refrained from burning the Koran.
David Canton of Brad Benson Hyundai in New Brunswick told CNN the Rev. Terry Jones will be given a 2011 Accent valued at $13,600.
Jones, pastor of Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, a church with a congregation of about 50, became an international celebrity when he threatened to burn copies of the Koran on Sept. 11, the ninth anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks. He changed his plans after the proposed burning was denounced by President Obama, Army Gen. David Petraeus and many others.

Tampa, Fla. -- Former CNN anchor Rick Sanchez, who said in a U.S. radio interview that Jews run CNN and other media companies, issued an apology Wednesday.
During a Sept. 30 appearance on a satellite radio show, Sanchez said Comedy Central's Jon Stewart is a bigot and wondered aloud whether American Jews are "an oppressed minority."
CNN issued a statement the following day saying Sanchez was "no longer with the company."
Sanchez, 51, whom Stewart has ridiculed repeatedly on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," asked during the radio interview to whom Stewart is bigoted, said: "Everybody else who's not like him. Look at his show, I mean, what does he surround himself with?"
He went on to observe that Jews run CNN.

New York -- U.S. cable news giant CNN said Monday it was breaking off its association with the Associated Press effective immediately.
"Starting today, CNN news gathering will be the primary source of all content for all our platforms and services," CNN Worldwide President Jim Walton was quoted as saying by Vanity Fair.
"We will no longer use AP materials or services. The content we offer will be distinctive, compelling and, I am proud to say, our own," he said.
AP has already reported profits were down 65 percent in 2009 compared to 2008. But, AP spokesman Paul Colford said AP would carry on.
"We will continue to provide AP news to other TV networks and tens of thousands," of other news companies, Colford said.
