Another Suicide: Bangladeshi Man Jumps to Death in Makkah

In the second suicide case in one week at the Grand Mosque in Makkah, a Bangladeshi man threw himself to death from the first floor into the Kaaba circumambulation area where worshippers were circling the sacred edifice or waiting for prayers.

He fell on a Sudanese man in his fifties who was praying, causing him serious fractures and injuries. He was taken to the nearby Ajyad hospital then to Noor Hospital for treatment, Saudi news site Sabq reported.

Security forces checked the surveillance cameras and noticed that the Bangladeshi man jumped over the fence on the first floor and committed suicide.

Last week, a Frenchman, 26, committed suicide at the Grand Mosque by jumping from the rooftop.
