His Majesty King Abdullah on Saturday called Saudi King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to extend condolences over the death of worshippers when a tower crane collapsed in Mecca’s Grand Mosque on Friday.

In the phone conversation, King Abdullah expressed sympathies with the families of the deceased and wishes of swift recovery for the injured.

Earlier in the day, the King sent a cable to King Salman to condole him over the loss of life among the faithful in the shrine.
