Bombs and mortar rounds killed three Shi'ite pilgrims and wounded 25 others on Tuesday as they made their way to a shrine in northern Baghdad to commemorate the death of a medieval Shi'ite holy man.

 

Police said one pilgrim was killed and nine wounded on Tuesday as they walked to Kadhimiya when three mortar rounds struck in the Shula district of northwestern Baghdad. In New Baghdad, a roadside bomb targeting pilgrims killed two and wounded five, police said. (Reuters)
