Helicopters patrol the pilgrimage to Mecca
Mina, Saudi Arabia - To avoid yesterday's massacre
Hundreds of policemen, dozens of ambulances everywhere and numerous helicopters have patrolled today the flood of people going to Mount Arafat to lapidate seven times the three stones, as wanted by the Muslim creed.
