U.S. President Barack Obama's paternal grandmother, Sara Omar, visited Mecca to perform umrah, local media outlets reported. Omar, who is in her 90s, arrived in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, with her son Saeed Obama, uncle to the U.S. president, and grandson Mousa. Omar was quoted by Al Arabiya as saying "I am very happy to visit this exhibition, which is a good example for the propagation of Islam in a modern way, supported by scientific and authentic documents."
