Dozens killed in Iraq suicide bomb attacks | News | DW.DE | 05.10.2013:
"In the capital, Baghdad, an attack targeting Shiite pilgrims killed 42 and injured at least 80. There was conflicting information as to whether the attack, which occurred at a checkpoint in the largely Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah, was a suicide bombing alone or if there was another bomb.
The pilgrims were walking to a shrine in Azamiyah to commemorate the death of Imam Mohammed al-Jawad, the ninth Shiite imam.
Another suicide bomber blew himself up around the same time in the town of Balad, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Baghdad, killing at least 12. Balad is a largely Shiite town surrounded by Sunni communities."
