Iraq: Car bomb kills 5 during Shiite pilgrimage in Kerbala
A car bomb killed five people and wounded 28 after targeting Iranian pilgrims in Iraq's holy Shiite city of Kerbala on Monday, a provincial official said."It was a car bomb. There were Iranian pilgrims in the area. They were targeted," said Mohammed al-Moussawi, head of the Kerbala provincial council.
Political tensions in Iraq have been stoked by the failure of its leaders to agree on a new government eight months after an inconclusive election. (Reuters)
