Iran vows legal action against Saudi Arabia after Hajj disaster

Iran has vowed to take international legal action against Saudi Arabia’s rulers over the crush of Muslim pilgrims at this year’s hajj, which killed at least 769 people, including 136 Iranians.

The pilgrims suffocated or were trampled to death on Thursday when two massive crowds converged on a narrow street, in the worst disaster to occur during the annual pilgrimage in a quarter of a century.
