MAKKAH – The Makkah governorate has denied
reports in international media with regard to
the press statement of Prince Khaled Al-Faisal,
emir of Makkah, advisor of Custodian of the
Two Holy Mosques and chairman of the Central
Haj Committee, about the stampede in Mina.
The foreign media reported that Prince Khaled
had held some African pilgrims responsible for
the stampede. “Such reports are nothing to do
with truth, and the emir did not make any such
remarks about the incident to any local or
foreign media outlets,” said Sultan Al-Dosari,
official spokesman of governorate, the Saudi
Press Agency reported.

Ok.

Masha'Allah

I hope so, even if the statement was true, the timing of the statement was wrong, but knowing how people invent a lot of lies in their service to create disharmony within muslims I think there is tendency for it to be false rather than the truth.
