Every year, millions of Muslims converge on the Saudi holy city of Mecca for the hajj pilgrimage, with the massive ceremonies representing a major security and logistical challenge for the kingdom’s authorities.
On occasion, the hajj and events surrounding it have been marred by accidents and tragedies, such as Thursday’s stampede near Mecca. Here’s a look at some deadly hajj-related incidents:

2006
12 January: More than 360 pilgrims are killed in a stampede in Mina,, where pilgrims carry out a symbolic stoning of the devil by throwing pebbles against three stone walls.
