Some pilgrims killed in haj crush
A NUMBER of Muslim pilgrims were trampled to death in Saudi Arabia yesterday in seething crowds at the climax of the annual haj pilgrimage, the scene of deadly stampedes in past years.
?This morning there was a heavy crush among pilgrims throwing pebbles. Several pilgrims stumbled and some were killed?, the state Saudi Press Agency quoted an Interior Ministry official as saying without specifying how many people were killed.
Around two million pilgrims had flocked to Jamarat Bridge in Mena to throw pebbles at a pillar representing the devil.
