Tight Security In Iraq Nets 0 Deaths, But 27 Killed in Pakistan During Shiite Procession, Dozens Injured
Good morning,
Tens of thousands of Iraqis marched and beat themselves in blood-soaked processions through the holy city of Karbala and other Shiite centers around the country to mourn the 7th century death of Imam Hussein _ the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.
But no holiday-related violence was reported in Iraq amid tight security to prevent Sunni Arab suicide bombers from striking the event, as they have done during the previous two years, killing more than 230 people.
The people in Pakistan, however, during the same event, were not as protected.
A martyr bombing ripped through a Shiite Muslim procession Thursday in northwestern Pakistan, sparking riots during the Muslim sect's most important holiday. At least 27 people were killed and dozens injured in the violence, officials said.
Have a nice day.
