Four pilgrims in Saudi Arabia for the annual hajj pilgrimage have died of swine flu, the health ministry said in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency on Saturday.
It said a Moroccan woman, a Sudanese man and an Indian man -- all aged 75 -- had died from A(H1N1), as had a 17-year-old girl from Nigeria. The ministry said the four had not followed "recommended procedures, especially vaccination against swine flu."
