SAUDI ARABIEN ISLAM HAJJ
Muslims pligrims who are taking part in the Medina pilgrimage gather at the Prophet Mohammed mosque during the sunset, at the burial place of Prophet Mohammed ,in the holy city of Medina al-Monawarah on Thursday 19 January, 2006. Saudi authorities are turning toward Islam and technology to prevent another tragedy like last week's stampede during the hajj pilgrimage that killed at least 363 people. Saudi Interior Minister Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz this week called on Muslim clerics to find religious dispensations that would give pilgrims more time to perform the hajj stoning ritual, currently three days from noon until sunset, during which the stampede took place.
