    "The unprecedented corruption scandal engulfing FIFA widened Thursday with the arrests of two more top officials in another dramatic dawn raid at a luxury hotel in Zurich.

    Swiss authorities again acted on a request from the US justice department, a repeat of the sweeping arrests in May that set off the scandal which has shaken world football's governing body to its core.

    A source inside FIFA, who requested anonymity, told AFP that the two officials targeted were South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) president Juan Angel Napout, and Alfredo Hawit, head of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF).

    Napout and Hawit will both oppose extradition from Switzerland, Swiss authorities said.

    Both are suspected of taking millions of dollars in bribes in return for selling marketing rights for major regional tournaments in Latin America and World Cup qualifying matches, the Swiss Justice ministry said in a statement."

    FIFA arrests, nearly as common as American shootings.

    Blatter must feel so left out. They`ve all been helping themselves apart from him.
