Copa celebrations kill 4

COLOMBIA’S celebration of victory in the South American club soccer championship was marred by violence, with four fans killed in a night of boisterous revelry.

Authorities said they registered more than 600 street fights after Medellin’s Atletico Nacional scored a 1-0 defeat of Independiente del Valle of Ecuador the Copa Libertadores final on Wednesday. It was Nacional’s second-ever title in the tournament and the first by a Colombian team since 2004. One of those killed was wearing the shirt of a rival Medellin club when he was slashed in the neck with a knife.
