Six Britons have died in a minibus crash in Saudi Arabia on their way back from a pilgrimage to Mecca.
A couple from Glasgow and four people believed to be from Manchester died in the incident near Medina on Wednesday.
Glasgow Central Mosque named the Scottish victims as Mohammad and Talat Aslam, parents of five, from the Newlands area of the city.

“On Wednesday January 18 they had just completed Umrah and were travelling in a minibus to visit our beloved Prophet’s Masjid in Madina. Tragically they were involved in a fatal accident.
“Four members of another family from Manchester were also killed in this tragedy.”
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: “We are supporting the families of six British people who have sadly died following a road accident in Saudi Arabia.
