Around 310 people taking part in the Hajj pilgrimage have been killed in a panic escapement near the Islamic holy city of Mecca, said the officials in Saudi Arabia . Another 450 people were blistered in the incident at Mina, between Mount Arafat and Meccas Grand Mosque. The stampede happened as more than a million pilgrims were taking part in the last major religious rite of the Hajj. Earlier this month, a crane collapsed at Meccas Grand Mosque, killing 109 people and injuring around 400 others.
