Muslims on hajj in Saudi start ascent of holy site

By ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOUNT ARAFAT, Saudi Arabia — Nearly 3 million Muslims gathered for the annual hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia on Monday and made their way up a rocky desert hill, chanting they have come to answer God's call.
The white-robed pilgrims began their ascent of the Mountain of Mercy at Arafat at dawn.
Saudi authorities have taken new measures to improve crowd management at this hajj — including launching a new light-rail system to transport pilgrims between the shrines.
