MINA, 12 January 2006 — A Haj group disturbed the flow of pilgrims when it realized a member of the group had disappeared. Thinking they spotted the old gentleman in the crowd, some of the groups’ members chased after him. When they caught up with the man, they discovered that they were chasing the wrong fellow, but the resemblance between him and the lost pilgrim was strikingly similar, reported Al-Watan newspaper. When they finally found their lost member, they introduced the two men who both agreed to the mutual resemblance. Both men were from Pakistan, but one had lived in the Kingdom for over 20 years. In perhaps an anti-climactic ending to this story, they both said that they were not related in any way.
