Dozens were killed and hundreds wounded yesterday in multiple suicide bombings in the holy Shiite city of Karbala. There was similar carnage in Baghdad.
The attacks at Karbala coincided with the major Shiite holy day of Ashura and interrupted what was described, by one radio report I heard, as a "peaceful celebration." Charles has photos. And, no, these are not pictures of the victims of the terrorist attacks. They're snapshots of the peaceful celebrants, doing their thing.
