Thank you so much Former President George W. Bush. Without you none of this would have been possible. What do I mean by that? Why simply that it’s pilgrim killing time again South of Baghdad:
HILLA, Iraq (AFP) — A woman suicide bomber dressed in a black abaya blew herself up in a crowd of Shiite pilgrims south of the Iraqi capital on Friday, killing 32 worshippers, mostly women and children, officials said.
The interior ministry said 32 people were killed and 65 wounded in the attack in the town of Iskandiriyah as pilgrims flocked on foot to the holy city of Karbala for a major religious ceremony.
Captain Mohammed al-Awadi of the police force for Babil province, of which Hilla is the capital, said the suicide bomber had hidden her explosives under an abaya, the traditional Muslim head-to-toe black garment for women.
She blew herself up among a crowd of women and children just after midday (0900 GMT), he said, adding that most of the casualties were women and children.
It was the third straight day of killings that have targeted Shiites heading to Karbala.
Hey, where the heck are those WMDs anyway?
