United Arab Emirates: Mosque Kills Boy
News from ITN.com this morning describes the tragic accident which killed a 10-year old British boy at Jumeirah beach in Dubai. The incident happened on Friday 18th November.
The boy was indulging in the popular holiday sport of parasailing, in which a boat races along the shoreline, and a tow rope is attached to an individual wearing a parachute. The speed of the boat lifts the parachute aloft.
As the boat sped along, strong winds caused the parachute cord to become detached, and the boy's parachute flew sideways in the gusts. The parachute sped towards a mosque on the sea front, and the boy was smashed into a minaret, killing him.
The boy's parents witnessed the tragedy, and are being given full consular support, a UK Foreign Office spokesman said.
