Car Rammed Into Masjid-al-Haram
Footage of a car ramming into door 89 of the Grand Mosque in Mecca (Masjid al-Haram) went viral on social media. The driver has been arrested.
On the night of October 30, a driver rammed his car into the outer premises of the Grand Mosque, Masjid-al-Haram in Mecca. There were no casualties reported by the authorities in Saudi Arabia.
The viral video footage showed the driver, rushing his car, smashing past the barriers placed in the outer courtyard of Masjid-al-Haram. After he ploughed through the barricades, he drove straight into one of the enormous doors of the mosque and stopped. The video showed people rushing towards the car in attempts to get it away from the holy place.
A Saudi news network, Okaz reported that none of the worshippers or other people near the incident was hurt. Moreover, the driver was a Saudi citizen and has been reported to be in an ‘abnormal condition’. He is being referred to public prosecution for further investigation.
