(ANSAmed) - NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 26 - US President Barack Obama sent a message to those starting the pilgrimage to the Mecca, and to all Muslims in the US and the world who are celebrating Eid Al Adha. ''The rites of the pilgrimage and Eid Al Adha remind us that the three largest religions in the world all claim descent from Abraham,'' said the US president, underlining that this year the US Secretary of Health reached an agreement with its Saudi counterpart to prevent and limit the spread of swine flu during the pilgrimage.
