Muslims across the world celebrate Eid al-Fitr
"For most Muslim countries Eid al-Fitr began Tuesday marking the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan and the beginning of three-days of celebration with family and loved ones.
"In Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, Jordan and even the United Kingdom Muslims packed mosques to attend the special Eid prayer followed by a huge feast to celebrate the festival of breaking fast.
"For those in Malaysia, Egypt, Syria, Algeria, Tunisia and Indonesia Eid began Oct.1, and despite government price hikes people in Kuala Lumpur flocked to shopping malls and markets to buy new clothes and presents."
