    A double car-bombing has killed 19 people in Iraq.
    A double car-bombing has killed 19 people in Iraq.

    The bombs exploded in the Iraqi Shia holy city of Karbala only two days before ceremonies to mark the birth of Imam Mohammed al-Mehdi, the 12th and last Imam of the Shiite faith.

    The car bombs targeted pilgrims who were travelling to the holy cities of Karbala and nearby Najaf on the road between the two cities.

    Four people have also been killed in a separate bombing at the offices of the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya television network in Baghdad.

    A single suicide car bomber parked outside the Al-Arabiya offices, killing three security guards and an office worker.

    The network had recently abandoned full operations at the building a month ago after warnings of an attack.

    Double car-bombing in Iraq kills walking pilgrims

    Killing their own people. What violent people Muslims are...Islam is Islam and just because they belong to different sects, does not give those Muslim terrorists the right to kill innocent people minding their own business. It’s absolutely horrific...

    What do you expect?

    Islam was started by a criminal that murdered people, took a 9 year old girl as a wife.. what a man.. stole from people, others other people to kill in his name? And this is a path to God? Surely not! Even animals are kinder to each other.. How can any muslim that is seriously looking to server God accept following a criminal?
