Mina Hajj Tragedy, September 24, 2015

On September 24, 2015, hundreds of pilgrims were killed in an apparent stampede in the Saudi Arabian city of Mina, next to Mecca, during the Hajj. Saudi Arabian authorities quickly acknowledged an initial 717 killed, besides over 800 wounded in this contested incident. Iran claims well over 1,000 died, including perhaps 200 of its own citizens, and blames Saudi Arabia, pushing for Mecca to be removed from their control and put under OIC jurisdiction. Many Iranians are calling the incident a "massacre."
