| At least 345 people died today in a stampede during a symbolic stoning ritual at the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, according to the country's health ministry. Health Minister Hamad al-Maneh told Saudi TV that 289 others were injured. Video of the scene showed dozens of bodies lying on the ground, covered with sheets and blankets.
