A mouse triggered panic and a crush in a Casablanca mosque has left more than 80 injured, mostly women, the Moroccan news agency MAP reported. The incident occurred in the city’s Hassan II mosque, which was packed during evening prayers Tuesday, the holiest night of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, MAP said.

“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 adouble fracture in the leg and has been kept under surveillance in hospital.

Has the Auditor-General’s Office hit the nail on the spot as to why rats are still a problem?

They are a rat-sized problem for the National Environment Agency (NEA).

The agency paid its contractor almost $4.2 million over two years to monitor and control the rodent population.

But the way things were done could end up making it more expensive to treat the problem, the Auditor-General’s Office (AGO) said.

That’s because the NEA told its contractor to only treat active burrows that fall within its purview.

The contractor did not treat 115 rat burrows as they were located in places that other public agencies oversee — a practice that the AGO report highlighted to be problematic.
