14 Trampled to Death at Hajj

14 Muslim pilgrims were trampled to death Tuesday in Saudi Arabia while performing a stone-throwing ritual during the Hajj. The site in Mina has been the source of dangerous bottlenecks in the past. In 2001, 35 people died in a stampede during the stoning ritual. In 1998, 180 died performing the same ritual.
