From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In early July 2010, a series of bombing attacks in Baghdad, Iraq killed at least 70 people while injuring 400[1][2] during a Shia pilgrimage to Al-Kazimiyya Mosque, the mausoleum of Musa al-Kadhim.[3] The bombings targeted those on the annual pilgrimage and took place from 6 to 8 July. The pilgrimage has been attacked in previous years by Sunni extremists and in 2005 was the site of a stampede that killed up to 1,000 people.
