>Fourteen pilgrims were killed and several injured in
>Saudi Arabia Tuesday when they fell to the ground in
>heavy crowds marking Eid al-Adha, the most
>accident-prone part of the annual Muslim haj
>pilgrimage.The official Saudi Press Agency said the
>accident happened Tuesday morning. On Eid al-Adha,
>pilgrims throw pebbles at a pillar representing the
>devil, and the ritual is often the most troublesome
>part of the haj. In 2001 at least 35 people died in
>a stampede during the stoning ritual. In 1998, 119
>were killed in a similar incident. The faithful, who
>made the pilgrimage to Mecca, trekked to Mena from
>Muzdalifah on the outskirts of the holy city where
>they had spent the night after a day of prayers on
>Mount Arafat. Chanting Islam's rallying cry of "God
>is Greatest," the pilgrims in white seamless attire
>marched to Jamarat Bridge where each pilgrim threw
>seven pebbles at a pillar erected where Muslims
>believe the devil appeared to Abraham. It was at
>Jamarat that the stampede occurred in 2001.
>Overcrowding at the bridge has in recent years posed

>Some wailed after losing relatives in the crowd as
