AS -- - �NATION •WORLD The D~y Sentinel PageA2 Friday, January 13, 2006 STAMPEDE BREAKS Our AMONG PRGRIMS AT HAJJ STONING RITUAL, KILLING AT LEAST Bv SALAH NASRAWI ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MIN.;\. Saudi Arabia Thousands of Muslims surging to complete a stoning ritual before sunset stampeded Thursday after some pilgrims tripped over dropped luggage, causing a pileup that killed at least 345 PI!Ople in the second tragedy to hit this year's haij. Saudi authorities have sought for years to ease the flo"\\' of increasingly mammoth crowds during the annu~ al Islamic pilgrimage, but the deaths on the ·final day of the stonin~ of the devil ritual underlmed the difficulty in managing ·one of the world's biggest ,religious events, which this year drew more than.2.5 million followers. The stampede came a week after another ·haij disaster the Jan. 5 collapse of a buil<;ling being used as a pilgrims' hotel that killed 76 people in Mecca. In the stoning ritual , all the pilgrims must pass a series of three ·"pillars" called alJamarat, which represent the devil and which the faithful pelt with stones to purge themselves of sin. The site ·in the desert of Mini! outside the holy city of Mecca is a notorious bottleneck iri the weeklong pilgrim-· age and has seen deadly incidents in seven of the past 17 years, including a stampede in 1990 that killed 1,426 people and one in 2004 that killed 244. "I heard screaming and ... saw people jumping over each other," s.aid Suad · Abu Hamada, an Egyptian pilgrim. "Police 'S tarting pulling out bodies. The bodies were piled up. I couldn't count them. they were too many." Bodies covered in white sheets lined the pavem~ nt near the Tamp where the stampede occurred, and emergency workers rushed the injured away on stretchers. Police cleared part of the site, r~·~···-···-:--··· • i . AP Photo A pilgrim survivor of a stampede is taken to safety by Saudi rescue men at the site in Mina. Saudi Arabia Thursday. Thousands of Muslim pilgrims rushing to complete a symbolic stoning ritual during th~ hajj tripped over baggage, causing a crush in which at least 345 people were killed and hundreds injured , despite Saudi attempts to prevent stampedes that have plagued the annual event. The stampede occurred as tens of thousands of pilgrims headed toward aiJamarat, a series of three pillars representing the devil that the faithful pelt with stones to · purge themselves of sin. but thousands of pilgrims continued the stoning ritual. The Interior Ministry put the death toll at 345. and the Health Ministry said 289 peo.ple were injured. State-run AlEklibariyah television said most of the victims were from South Asia. After the 2004 stampede, Saudi officials widened ramps leading to a platform the width of an eight-lane highway where the three pillars are .located and created more emergency exits to accommodate the crowds. Each of the small, round pillars also were replaced with 85-foot-long walls to allow more people to stone them at once without jostling each other. The walls .were .extended through the bottom of the platform so more pilgrims can canry out the ston- . ing from below. Thursday's stampede occurred below the platform, near one of the four big ramps. In theory, th~ crowds are supposed to enter the platform using two of the ramps and exit down the other two, but pilgrims often ignore the rules. Thousands of pilgrims were rushing to complete the last of the three days of the . stoning ritual before sunset when some of them began to trip over dropped baggage: causing a crush, said Maj. Gen. Mansour ai-Turki. spokesman for the Interior Ministry. Many pilgrims carry persana! belongings - tents, clothes and bags of food - as they move between the varioils stages of the haij. "This was fate destined l:ly God," al-Tutki said. "Son;1e of · the pilgrims were undisci plined and hasty to finish the ritual as soon as possible." · Mina General Hospital, a small f~cility near the alJamarat site, was filled with injured, and some victims had to be sent to hospitals in Mecca and Riyadh, Dr. Ismail Abdul,Zaher said. Many pilgrims expre~sed frustration over the repeated disasters at al-Jamarat. "\his should .not happen e'•ery year. It should be stopped, it's a scandal . There must be a way to organize this better," said Anwar Sadiqi, a pilgrim from Pakistan. Ensuring a .smooth pilgrimage is a key concern for Saudi Arabia's royal family, which bolsters its legitimacy by touting its. role as the "custodian of the holy cities" of Mecca and Medina, where Islam's.. 345 But some ' people com7th century propheJ plained that pohce did little io Muhammad was born and help.

A c(ams C{)otce Half of Great American Ball Park seats to be replaced CINCINNATI (AP) Nearly half the seats in Great American Ball Park - about 20,000 - are to be replaced by the start of baseball season because of safety concerns. Brackets that attach the bottom part of the seats to the frame have failed and caused a few minor lllj\lrtes, Hamilton County commissioners said. The county owns the $280 million ballpark, which opened in 2003, and leases it to the Reds. Hussey Seating of North Berwick, Maine, will supply new seat·pans, and the county will install them by the April 3 opener. against the Chicago Cubs. The two sides have agreed to mediation to detenpine who will pay the replacement costs. "They will replace 20,000 seat pans this year and probably all of them over time," Eric Stuckey, assistant coun-. ty admini,strator, said Wednesday. ' •., " Hussey won the contract to install the ballpark's 42,059 seaL> .in.,200.t .with a .(ow bid of $3.4 million. During the park 's ftrst season, about 200 seats or the brackets holding the seats together, failed and two people reported minor .injuries, · commt ssioners said. Hussey agreed to replace the brackets on about 39,000 . seats at its own expense then, Hu ssey spokesman Chris Robinson said Thursday. The county asked for more repairs after the second season. ing a home really means to you," said Nancy Barker, Agency representative. She noted that the classes could help participants get a lower interest home loan or might qualify them for a special mortgage program through a local bank or mortgage company. For those. who ~re income eligible and meet certain ·credit guidelines participants might qualify for a home built by GMCAA through a grant from Ohio Housing Finance .. Barker suggested that anyone interested contact the Gallia Meigs Community Action Agency or speak to a realtor or mortgage Joan officer to see what · benefits they might reap by taking the homebuyer education program. not know there was that much involved in buying a home. l thought it would be like buying a car," one recent graduate of the Homebuyer Education program stated.

NASCAR asked a federal 'judge Thursday to throw out . Kentucky Speedway's $400 ·million antitrust lawsuit, arguing the track 's true intention wasn ' t to beat an alleged monopoly but join it. · The case, being heard in ·u.s. District Court for the ·Eastern District of Kentucky, ·alleges auto.racing's governing body conspired with !nternational Speedway on which tracks should be host to coveted Nextel Cup races. Kentucky Speedway, located in Sparta about halfway between Louisville and Cincinnati, was left out. . Judge William Bertelsman said he would act soon on NASCAR's motion to dismiss the case. He pointed out that another antitrust case he .dismissed two weeks ago was a "simpler situation than this." · Lawyers for _Kentucky Speedway, a track not even six years old, argue in the ,suit that if it were allowed to compete, it would have been one of the tracks to have a Nextel Cup race . They cite safety features, state-of-the· art amenities and a colossal fan base allowing for larger purses to winning dFivers. Still, it was left off because NASCAR claimed there was no room on the 36-race Cup schedule. Of the 22 tracks that do have the races, JSC owns or controls 12 of them , But NASCAR 's attorney said the speedway had no standing to sue because its goal was not to assure competition - as antitrust law guarantees - but to essentially become part. of the monopoly the track says it wants to bring down . "These are people who are trying to get the benefits of the very antitrust. anticompetitive conduct they ' re attacking," said NASCAR attorney Stuart Singer. Kentucky Speedway's lawyers said that wasn·r true. If successful at landing a Nextel race, th~y said, the speedway could be in a posi· tion to join forces with other tracks to eventually compete ment afterward. Also Thursday. International Speedway Corporation argued ll shouldn't be part of the ca~e at all because it doe.,n't do bu siness in Kentucky. "They ' re NASCAR·, rules." ;a1d ISC lawyer Jack Dan so n.

"The most important thing is that I wanted to come straight out: and apologize to mosily my family, friends," Miller said Thursday at a n€ws conference at the Wengen Elementary School. "But. also. we have a lot of people who supported me along the way, through my team and even J_ust family and triends who have supported me, who I think are . subject to only what the media ·puts 0 ut in America.

Maybe the temporary no-talk zone surroundmg Ward's locker was to make sure he d1dn ' t get too chatty before the biggest game of the season.

''Thev're fas~. from the front four to the secondary: and we've got to cou nter that," Ward said. 'Their lmebackers are really strong safet1es, they rally around the ball real fast." And how do the Steelers counter the speed that bothered them so dunng their 26-7 loss to then-unbeaten lndtanapohs on Nov 28° "Just hit 11 down thw throats." said Ward. momentarily soundmg hke Porter. "They ' ve got great team speed. When v.,e were down 10-7 agamst them before, we s!ill had a chance in that ball game to go out and make plays. We just didn' t do that."

Ward smd "We\e got to smgle him out.'' Ward seems as unaccustomed to being in this not-supposed-to-win role as he does to being quiet for a day Thts IS the f1rst ttme in his eight NfL seasons in which the Steele! s have been a prohibitive underdog m a playoff game.

Branch and the other wtde rece tvers may need ' b1g games because New England had one of the worst running attacks during the regular season. Only eight teams rushed for fewer yards, and Denver allowed the secondfewest yards rushing m the NFL . "When we thought that the runmng game was down, It's almost hke an mJury to a key player," Branch said. "When · that key player goes down, that next person has to step m and fill that role " The Patnots do have Tom Brady, the two-time Super Bowl MVP and league leader in yards passing this season His mam target IS Branch, who followed last year 's Super Bowl MVP performance wtth a career-high 78 catches And there's always Troy Brown , the longe st-tenured Patriots player and the club'> second-leading rece1ver with 514 career catcbes.
