Bombs rock Baghdad, Shia pilgrims among 14 killed
Source: Times of India
AGHDAD: Three bombs went off in and around Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 14 people, including Shia Muslim worshippers conducting an annual pilgrimage inside the capital, police and medical sources said.
The largest blast, which Islamic State said it was behind, came from a parked car bomb in the Saydiya district of southern Baghdad that killed 11 and wounded 30, the sources said.
At least a few of the casualties were pilgrims passing through the area on their way to the shrine of Imam Moussa al-Kadhim, a great-grandson of Prophet Muhammad who died in the 8th century.
