107 lifeless at Saudi Arabia's Grand Mosque

At least 107 people died and more than 230 people were injured when a crane collapsed in the Muslim holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

The huge red crane crashed into a part of the Grand Mosque - the largest in the world - that was filled with worshippers at the time.

Though no Bangladeshi was killed so far, at least 40 Bangladeshis were injured in the incident, Golam Moshi, Bangladesh ambassador to Saudi Arabia, told The Daily Star around 2:00am today over the phone.

“Three of them, one identified as Chan Mia, were shifted to intensive care unit at a hospital. Their conditions are stable,” he said, quoting doctors. Some of them received primary treatment, Golam added.
