Report: 36 dead in Morocco minaret collapse
Associated Press ^ | 2-19-10

RABAT, Morocco - A minaret collapsed during Friday prayers at a crowded mosque in the old town of the historic Moroccan city of Meknes, killing 36 people and injuring 71, the official MAP news agency said.

Officials blamed the accident on heavy rain that had weakened the minaret at the Bab Berdieyinne Mosque, according to a statement released by the Interior Ministry.

I didn’t know that Morocco has a king.

At least these folks died praying. Can’t think of a better way to go.

When their flag is ACTUALLY a pentagram, you can be pretty sure who their god is.

Bab Berdieyinne Mosque?

A search on this only comes up with this story (or others like it). Is this a new mosque or one of those made of mud brick?
