It has been six years since thousands were killed in the stampede at the 2015 hajj in Saudi Arabia. Yet, the Saudis have yet to release any report on the accident, the Islamic Republic noted acidly September 25. The Saudis issued a preliminary report days after the crush saying 770 people had died, but then said nothing more. An AP survey of hajj organizations in Muslim countries came up with a total of at least 2,400 dead, with the largest nationality on the dead list being Iranian.
