Death tolls rise

Iran, Egypt and Pakistan say they have identified dozens more of their citizens among the victims of a crush of Muslim pilgrims that killed more than 700 people during the haj in Saudi Arabia. Iranian state television said the death toll for Iranian pilgrims had risen from 155 to 169, while more than 300 were still missing and around 100 were injured. Iran has accused Saudi Arabia of mismanaging the annual pilgrimage and has vowed to take legal action. Egypt’s Minister of Religious Endowments said 55 Egyptian citizens were among the dead, and another 120 were still missing, while Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs said 36 Pakistanis were killed, double the earlier death toll.
