IRAQ-SHIITE-RELIGION
An Iraqi flag flies as Shiite Muslim pilgrims hit their heads while pouring the shrine city of Karbala, 10 March 2007. Vast crowds of Shiite devotees thronged shrines in the Iraqi holy city of Karbala for the second consecutive day, defying a spate of vicious sectarian attacks aimed at marring an annual holiday. The start of the two-day festival of Arbaeen, which marks the 40th day after the anniversary of the killing of Imam Hussein in Karbala in the year 680, came on the eve of a major regional peace conference in Baghdad.
