At least 18 injured in crush in Saudi city of Mecca

‘At least 18 pilgrims have been injured in a crush near Islam’s holiest site, Saudi media say, just over six months after hundreds lost their lives in a tragic stampede during the last year Hajj rituals.
The incident took place on Friday night near the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) in Mecca, which contains Islam’s holiest site, the Ka’aba, as Muslims gathered in large numbers to mark the Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Destiny), one of the high points of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, the al-Riyadh newspaper reported.
The newspaper cited a health official as saying that all the injured were treated at the scene and that none required admission to hospital.’
