A swarm of insects, probably locusts, engulfed Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Holy City early last week. RT reported: They’re everywhere – in the air, on the pavement, on the robes of worshipers and on the walls of the Great Mosque.
“Specialized teams have been directed to work in the fight to eliminate these insects,” authorities in Mecca said, according to the Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news site.
Saudi authorities reported that it took 22 teams consisting of a total of 138 people to clean up the infestation. Once they came, the annoying critters didn’t want to leave.

فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الطُّوفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ آيَاتٍ مُّفَصَّلَاتٍ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِين
