Seven pilgrims trampled in Mecca
2005-10-31
MECCA: Seven pilgrims on Sunday were trampled to death in a rush to receive charity handouts. The rush, in which 17 others were injured, was sparked by the arrival of a Red Crescent truck to distribute charity handouts to the needy, reported the Okaz daily.
