Saudi Arabia: "No Hajj in 2008"


Riyadh, KSA: The Saudi government will officially announce the cancellation of this year pilgrimage to Mecca, an unprecedented decision which will likely affect hundreds of thousands of Muslims. This decision was reached late this evening as a response to bomb threats dispatched to the Saudis from top CIA sources.


The official cancellation decree, however, will likely cite renovation as a reason for cancelling and will not announce the security concerns.
