I do not want to be seen as someone that breaks bad news, but events around the world are just tiring. It is either someone is killed or some terrorists have killed people or someone just did some bad thing to another person. Now over 60 people have been killed across Iraq today after 16 bombs exploded. Wednesday’s blasts were the third attack this week targeting the annual pilgrimage that sees hundreds of thousands of Shiites converge on Baghdad to commemorate the 8th century death of revered Imam Moussa al-Kadhim,
who is interred in a shrine in the northern neighbourhood of Kazimiyah.
Most of the 16 separate explosions that rocked the country targeted the Shiite pilgrims, but two hit offices of political parties linked to Iraq’s Kurdish minority. Authorities had tightened security ahead of the pilgrimage, including a blockade of the mainly Sunni area of Azamiyah, which is near the twin-domed Shiite shrine.
