A mouse has triggered panic and a crush in a Casablanca mosque in Morocco, that has left more than 80 people injured, mostly women, Sky News reports.
The incident occurred in the city's Hassan II mosque, which was packed during evening prayers on Tuesday, the holiest night of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, the Moroccan news agency MAP reports.
'Eighty-one people, mostly women, suffered light injuries and fractures while some of them fainted,' it said.
The panic broke out after a woman raised the alarm over the mouse, sparking a sudden exodus of screaming worshippers.
Among those needing treatment was a pregnant woman who suffered a double fracture in the leg and has been kept under surveillance in hospital.
Of course, mice are frightening animals with huge teeth which can kill a man in a split second, so it's fully understandable.
Not only that, they are also Satan's soldiers, at least according to Saudi Arabian cleric, Sheikh Muhammad Munajid.
