That was the sound of the crane falling,&#8221; Mohammed, a Moroccan pilgrim, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another visitor caught up in the tragedy, Ahmed from Egypt, said he and those around him were &#8220;very scared, hysterical even&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A Saudi official said the hajj, expected to start on September 21, would go ahead despite the tragedy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8211; Inquiry has begun &#8211;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It definitely will not affect the hajj this season, and the affected part will probably be fixed in a few days,&#8221; said the official, who declined to be named.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The pilgrimage is a must for all able-bodied Muslims who can afford it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">An investigative committee has &#8220;immediately and urgently&#8221;

he told AFP.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Alawi is an outspoken critic of redevelopment at the Muslim holy sites, which he says is wiping away tangible links to the Prophet Mohammed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But an engineer for the Saudi Binladin Group, the developer, told AFP the crane had been installed in &#8220;an extremely professional way&#8221; and that there had been no technical problem.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It was an act of God&#8221;, he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Saudi Binladin Group belongs to the family of the late <a class=\"yom-entity-link\" href=\"https:\/\/uk.news.yahoo.com\/al-qaeda\/\" data-rapid_p=\"4\">Al-Qaeda<\/a> leader Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sheikh Ahmed al-Ghamdi, former head of Mecca&#8217;s religious police, told AFP the accident was a &#8220;test&#8221;
