A mentally ill African man claiming to be Jesus Christ mounted a wall at the Grand Mosque in the western Saudi town of Makkah and smashed a lamp before he was captured by security men, newspapers reported on Thursday.

“We arrested the man…he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol as some social networks say…he is mentally ill as he claimed to be Jesus Christ,” said Major Ge

It sounds like he broke a lamp. Just where does “wrecks(ing) havoc” come into play. Exaggerate much?

A You-Tube film showed Saudi border guards holding the man and hanging a banner he was carrying around his neck.
“I am Diaa the prophet…I am a messenger of God,” the banner read, according to the Saudi Arabic language daily Sabq, which said the man also spoke incomprehensible language to the police.
In July 2011, a Saudi was arrested by the police at the Grand Mosque in Makkah after he mounted a prayers platform and falsely claimed that he was a prophet and their saviour.
The 36-year-old man, identified as Sami, mounted the podium to deliver his brief speech. “I am Al Mehdi Al Montathar…I am a prophet sent (by God) to save and guide you,” he told the packed hall before was overpowered by police, Saudi Arabia’s ‘Okaz’ newspaper had said.
There have been a series of incidents involving persons claiming to be Al-Mehdi Al-Montathar (the Chosen Imam Al-Mehdi) at Islamic holy sites in Makkah.
