Saudi Arabia’s King Salman on Tuesday sanctioned the Saudi Binladin Group for last Friday’s crane collapse at Makkah’s Grand Mosque, which killed more than 100 people days before the Haj pilgrimage.
The construction firm belongs to the family of the late al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
According to the official Saudi Press Agency, executives in the firm are forbidden from leaving the kingdom pending the completion of judicial action against it following the collapse at Islam’s holiest site.
