Attack near Karbala holy shrines martyrs over 50
By: Ismail Zabeeh
HOLY CITY OF KARBALA, Iraq: More than 50 people,
including pilgrims, were martyred and dozens wounded when a suicide
bomber detonated near the two holy shrines in Karbala on Thursday.
Police spokesman Rahman Mishawi said the blast occurred about 10:15
a.m. (2:15 a.m. ET) in a pedestrian mall that runs between the Al-Imam
Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) and Abu`l Fazl Al-Abbas (peace be upon
him) holy mausoleums.
 
 
Mishawi said the bomber committed the terror attack at a distance of
ten meters from Bab-ol Qiblah – one of the main gates of the holy
Husseini shrine.
Iraqi television showed body parts and torn clothing in pools of blood
in the area near the holy shrines.
It was the bloodiest attack in the holy city since over 200 Husseini
mourners were martyred by multiple suicide bombings during Ashura in
March 2004.
More than 50 people died in attacks across Iraq on Wednesday.

what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
