DUBAI:
The death toll in a crush at the annual haj pilgrimage outside Mecca
rose to 769, Saudi Arabia said on Saturday, as arch-rival Iran said
Saudi officials should be tried in an international court for what it
called a crime.
The worst disaster to befall the Islamic event in a quarter of a century occurred on Thursday as two large groups of pilgrims arrived together at a crossroads in Mina, a few kilometers outside the holy city.
