Two days after a crane collapse killed 107 people at Makkah’s Grand Mosque, the region’s governor yesterday filed an investigative report, official media said.
Prince Khaled al-Faisal “has submitted today the results of the investigation”, the Saudi Press Agency said.
Prince Khaled sent the findings to Crown Prince Mohamed bin Nayef for presentation to King Salman, it said, without disclosing any contents.
Salman vowed on Saturday to reveal what caused the crane to topple into a courtyard of the Grand Mosque, where hundreds of thousands of Muslims have converged ahead of the Haj pilgrimage later this month.
“We will investigate all the reasons and afterwards declare the results to the citizens,” Salman said after visiting the site.
Prince Khaled ordered a probe as soon as the tragedy struck.
The investigative committee was headed by Hesham al-Faleh, an adviser to Prince Khaled, who was under orders to submit the findings urgently.
