Mohamed Salah, others were targeted by laser pointers during World Cup qualifier and the football association says the team bus was attacked in Dakar.
“The crowds also terrorized the players by throwing glass and rocks at them during the warm-up process. Additionally, the Egyptian mission’s buses were attacked, causing their windows to break, injuring and wounding some, which was documented with photos and videos that were taken and risen with the complaint.

But we know that in Cairo there were a lot of these and [they are used] often in specific countries. Senegal isn’t used to that.”
