MENA, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) -
>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
>one of the biggest security challenges during the
>five-day haj.

Thousands of policemen, wearing masks
>against the dust, frantically tried to keep traffic
>flowing Tuesday, often in vain. Under a scorching
>midday sun, many pilgrims passed out from fatigue.
>Some wailed after losing relatives in the crowd as
>loudspeakers asked worshippers to clear the scene for
>others.

This year's pilgrimage has been overshadowed
>by a build-up of U.S. troops in the Gulf region for a
>possible attack on Muslim Iraq for its alleged
>possession of weapons of mass destruction.

The
>ritual had gone smoothly so far this year under
>massive security in the kingdom, which is a U.S. ally.
>Thousands of troops have been deployed to prevent
>political demonstrations and authorities have vowed to
>crush any group planning sabotage.

"Today, America is the

A sermon at Mecca's Grand Mosque to

"The sanctity of

Saudi King Fahd and Crown Prince

>Arabia is home to Islam's holiest shrines.
