By: Ismail Zabeeh

BAGHDAD, Iraq: Police spokesman Rahman Meshawi said additional police and army forces have arrived in the holy city of Karbala, 50 miles south of Baghdad, to beef up security for the Shabaniyah, which is expected to attract 8 million pilgrims from across the world.

Meshawi put the additional forces at seven battalions — three each from the defense and interior ministries and one assembled from security forces in neighboring provinces.

He gave no figures, but Iraqi police and army battalions are usually around 300 men each.
