Wearing white shrouds Shiite Muslim pilgrims take part in self flagellation during lamentation ceremonies in the southern city of Karbala marking the Arbaeen, 100 kms from Baghdad, 31 March 2005. Thousands of pilgrims have gathered in Karbala for the Arbaeen, which falls today. Arbaeen ends the traditional 40-day mourning period commemorating the death of the Prophet Mohammed-s grandson Imam Hussein in 680 AD at the battle of Karbala. AFP PHOTO/AHMAD AL-RUBAYE
