JAKARTA: Five Indonesian pilgrims are still being treated in
Saudi Arabian hospitals for a variety of medical conditions,

Arabia, said the five were being treated at different hospitals
-- Al-Noor and Ajyad in Mecca, King Fahd in Jeddah and Uhud in
Medina.

Without going into detail, Wardhani said the condition of the
