Two suicide bombers today killed up to 90 people in a crowd of Shi'ite pilgrims streaming toward a shrine south of Baghdad, according to police. The coordinated attack happened on a main street in Hillah, about 60 miles from the capital. More than 150 others were wounded in the blasts.
Shi'ite pilgrims are heading to the holy city of Kerbala to commemorate Arbain, the end of a 40-day mourning period since Ashura, which marks the death of Prophet Mohammad's grandson in 680.
