Iran says they
have recorded the highest death so far in the last week Thursday’s hajj
stampede in Saudi Arabia, blaming authorities for their "inefficiency and
mismanagement" in handling the largest gathering of Muslims.
The number of
Iranian pilgrims killed so far has risen to 465. Yesterday the Iranian authorities
released their names. They have also demanded the immediate transfer of the
dead bodies to Iran for proper burial.
About 64,000 Iranians travelled to Saudi Arabia this year to perform the Hajj rituals.
