27 Shi'ites Killed in Suicide Bombing

Thousands gather in Kerbala earlier this week

Shi'ite Muslims had gathered by the thousands in Kerbala, Iraq, as part of a pilgrimage, this week.

On Thursday, as they began to leave, a suicide bomber struck outside a bus station, in Mussayab.

The car bomb killed twenty-seven and injured at least sixty more, when it exploded.

Another eight were wounded when a road side bomb exploded as a minibus drove by, in New Baghdad.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Sunnis are being blamed.
