JEDDAH: Official records show that the name of the former Iranian ambassador to Beirut Ghazanfar Abadi does not appear among this year’s pilgrims, sources have told Al Arabiya News.
If his presence during the pilgrimage is confirmed, that would mean he entered the Kingdom by “unknown ways,” possibly registering with a different name and description. He is feared to have died in the Mina stampede.
Abadi, who worked as the country’s ambassador in Beirut until last year, has been declared missing, Iran’s state TV said. An Iranian broadcast said that two state TV reporters and a prominent political analyst were also missing after the stampede, which killed at least 769.
