Bomb kills 10 in Iraqi Shi'ite city of Kerbala
A bomb planted on a cart pulled by a motorcycle killed at least 10 people and wounded 90 others as Shi'ite pilgrims poured into the Iraqi holy city of Kerbala on Wednesday for a major religious rite, police said.
Shi'ite gatherings are frequent targets for Sunni Islamist militants such as al-Qaeda, trying to stoke sectarian carnage, while recent months have also seen major coordinated attacks by suicide bombers on Baghdad ahead of a March election. (Reuters)
