The official stated: “At 11:45 (8:45 GMT) a woman wearing an explosives-filled belt blew herself up in the middle of a crowd of visitors of Karbala.”
Millions of people visit Karbala to commemorate the fortieth day after Imam Hussayn (a) was martyred along with his companions and family members on the hot sands of this city – which was a mere desert at the time. Imam Hussayn is the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (s) and rose up to reform the Islamic Nation which deviated due to the ill management of Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan and his son Yazid.
