JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- World Cup qualifiers involving Egypt and Libya next month will be played without fans, FIFA said on Wednesday, while security arrangements for matches in Mali, Nigeria and Kenya were being scrutinized. Egypt-Mozambique in Alexandria on June 1 and Libya-Cameroon in Sfax, Tunisia on June 10 will be behind closed doors, the world football body told The Associated Press in a written reply to questions. FIFA said the decision was taken by local authorities and football federations in those countries. Malis game against Algeria could be moved out of the West African country after the president was toppled in a coup. The ruling body also was reviewing security plans for Nigerias home game against Namibia in the southeastern city of Calabar, which it said were "comprehensive and very thorough." The match was to be played in Kaduna, in the centre of Nigeria, before bomb attacks there by a radical Islamic sect. FIFA and the Confederation of African Football hadnt yet decided if Mali-Algeria would go ahead in Mali after recent violence in the capital Bamako following the coup in March and fighting involving countercoup forces this month. Two foreign clubs, Sunshine Stars of Nigeria and Al-Ahly of Egypt, were stranded in Bamako two weeks ago during fighting after playing African Champions League games. FIFA said it had been monitoring the situation in Mali since March. Algeria last week requested the tie be moved to a neutral venue because of the instability. "A final decision following further discussions between FIFA and CAF is likely to be made in the next few days," FIFA said on the venue. Egypts interior ministry decided this month that the national team could open its World Cup qualifying campaign on home soil after a riot at a club game in February left 74 people dead and ended all domestic football in the troubled country for the season. The violence at a stadium in the Mediterranean city of Port Said also dragged football into ongoing political violence. Egypt hasnt hosted an international since October, and despite initial pleas from Egyptian football authorities for fans to be allowed back, the government and Egyptian Football Association had agreed that the match be closed to supporters, FIFA said. Tunisia hasnt allowed fans at most games since the Arab Spring uprising there early last year and would again close off the Libya-Cameroon game. Libya hasnt been able to play in its home country since the start of the civil war that ended Moammar Gadhafis rule. FIFA had also asked for security plans from Kenya before its qualifying competition, but added it was "not unusual." Kenya hosts Malawi on June 2 in Nairobi, which has seen hit-and-run grenade attacks in the last few months that were blamed on Somali militant group al-Shabab. . -- The Chicago Bulls felt they played only two quarters of defence Wednesday night.

The Knights opened the scoring at 5:24 of the second period when Ryan Rupert received a terrific outlet pass from Scott Harrington and scored on a breakaway by sliding the puck on a backhand through the pads of Niederberger. The Colts took the lead before the period was over with goals from winger Andreas Athanasiou at 7:37, and another from Anthony Camara at 15:21. Brendan Lemieux made it 3-1 Barrie with a power play goal at 1:24 into the third period. Alex Broadhurst trimmed the margin to 3-2 with a power play goal at 8:56, before Mark Scheifeles empty-netter at 19:17 put the game out of reach. London goalie Anthony Stolarz stopped 24 shots. The Knights were 1 for 4 on the power play, while Barrie went 1 for 3. "That was our plan, to come in here and win this hockey game -- win Game 1," said Barrie coach Dale Hawerchuk. "We have the 20 guys dressed that all stay on the same page, to stay on a game plan that becomes second naturre -- engraved.dddddddddddd" The performance of Niederberger, who has played every minute in the playoffs for Barrie, was key to the win, according to Hawerchuk. "Our guys play very confident in front of him. Mathiass performance was the backbone for us for sure," added Hawerchuk as his club was outshot early, 15-7 in the first, but also 20-9 in the third period. With Game 2 also in London, Knights coach Dale Hunter expects a rebound result. "It sure will be a big game for us, but if all the kids give their best effort, thats all I can ask," said Hunter, who had his club with a 12-2 mark through the Western Conferences three rounds. "We had our chances, but we didnt bury enough," added Hunter. "If you judge a game on scoring chances, we certainly had our share." With both coaches owning more than 1,100 games in NHL playing experience, Hawerchuk realizes the series has a long way to go. "We can enjoy this moment, but then we have to keep our composure and focus and get ready for Game 2," said Hawerchuk. "We have to stay the course." cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
