By: Ismail Zabeeh
HOLY KARBALA, Iraq: Iraq has deployed 5,000 plainclothes military
personnel south of Baghdad on Saturday, beefing up security in an
attempt to stop deadly bombings against Arbaeen Al-Imam Al-Hussein
(AS) pilgrims that have plagued the country over the past three days,
police said.
According to Capt. Alaa Abbas Jaafar, spokesman for the Karbala
police, the military personnel will monitor suspicious movements among
millions of pilgrims streaming toward Karbala.
The government already has deployed 30,000 security personnel in the
province that contains Karbala to protect the city, along with 400
snipers on rooftops and 1,500 female security guards to search women,
Capt. Jaafar said.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
