Sayyedah Zainab (p) visitors 'tortured and shot'

By: Ismail Zabeeh

AL-QAIM, Iraq: Iraqi police said the mutilated corpses of 10 innocent Iraqi Muslim pilgrims have been found in the desert near the town of Al-Qaim, close to the Syrian border.

According to police the murdered pilgrims had apparently been blindfolded, tied up and shot in the head.

The dead bodies bore marks of torture.

The pilgrims are thought to be from southern Iraq and were martyred as they traveled back from Syria.

Iraqi officials said they believed the 10 people were stopped as they were on their way back from visiting the holy shrine of Sayyedah Zainab (peace be upon her), daughter of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and grand daughter of holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his pure progeny), in Syria several days ago.

They were attacked in the area where the US military carried out a major operation against terrorists earlier this month.
