Karbala - At least 45 people died and 150 were injured as a result of two separate attacks in the Shiite holy city of Kerbala, Iraq. The suicide bombers have used two car bombs. The victims, mostly women and children, pilgrims would arrive in town for a party. The first bomb exploded north of Karbala about 13 hours to Italy.The second blast occurred about twenty minutes later, ten miles south of town. A Karbala in recent days we celebrate the Arbain, or annual pilgrimage to the holy places of the city on the 40th or the day after Ashura, which commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein in 681. In the city are expected to attract around one million pilgrims.
The Shiite religious celebrations of this kind are now fixed a target of terrorism, particularly in Karbala, even after last year, when dell'Arbain, a double bombing had killed forty people and wounded more than 150 other. Also today, another bomb exploded south of Baghdad to the vegetable market in Al-Rasheed, killing one person and wounding nine.
