Also, a militant group claimed to have launched mortars into Saudi Arabia as a warning. Overall, at least 79 people were killed and 106 more were wounded in the bloodshed.

Bombers took over Baghdad again, where a string of bombs unnerved both Sunni and Shi’ite residents who had ventured out between rainstorms that have flooded some parts of the city this week. The rains, which are common this time of year, have been deadly in parts of central and southern Iraq. In attacks, though, at least 66 were killed and 142 more were wounded in Baghdad and across the country.

At least 12 people were killed and 24 more were wounded in fresh attacks. Another seven people were executed.

At least seven people were killed and 15 more were wounded across Iraq.

At least nine people were killed and 20 more were wounded in new attacks, mostly in northern Iraq.

While participating in Ashura holiday rituals today, many Shi’ites became easy targets for Sunni militants. Ashura commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and symbolizes the schism between Shi’ites and Sunnis. Nevertheless, about two million pilgrims safely reached the holy city of Karbala for observances there. At least 67 people were killed and 152 more were wounded.

Shi’ites were targeted in a wave of blasts and other attacks, while many of them were taking part in Ashura rituals. Overall, at least 50 people were killed and 131 more were wounded.

Millions of pilgrims are expected to arrive in the holy city of Karbala and will be easy targets for militants.
