Three die in Saudi shop stampede
A stampede of hundreds of shoppers in western Saudi Arabia has left at least three people crushed to death.
A Saudi man and a Pakistani man were among those killed, officials in the port city of Jeddah said.
The incident occurred after shoppers rushed into a branch of Ikea to claim a limited number of credit vouchers being offered to the public.
More than 8,000 people had gathered near the store for the $150 vouchers, some of them having camped overnight.
