Dozens more were injured in the explosions. They struck during the holy month of Ashoura, of special significance to Shiites who are prime targets of al Qaeda's Iraqi affiliate and other Sunni Muslim insurgents. Read the full story.

How simply awful that more people have been killed in car bomb attacks. The senseless violence never seems to end. The innocent die because of terrorists target them because of they are different Muslims. I know there are those who will say they don't care, let them kill each other. But the murdering of innocent people who are not causing any harm to others is simply murder, cold blooded period. To accept this is like saying it is okay to watch Hitler taking away and killing Jews, because he hated them. They weren't doing anything. Just horrible.
Wait a minute!
When it comes to non-Muslims, seventh century bigoted Sunnis and tenth century bigoted Shiites join hands!
For them, all non-Muslims are jihadi material.
Why people, who talk big, did not act during Darfur genocides of Christians?
I hope you know the history of Muslims (all Muslim sects and tribes including Assads and their Shiite Hezbollah) in Lebanon against Christians.
It was worse against Hindus and other minorities in current Pakistan and Bangladesh!
Why people did not wake up during those times?
Some are highly selective and they wake up when something happens to Muslims, especially, in ME.
Most bigoted, barbaric and beastly House of Saud, with a mad Sunni ruler and his 5000 princes and princesses are God for some!
Who with little sense and honor will send NATO soldiers to save that Sunni beastly Kuwaiti ruler with 65 wives and fix his golden toilets first?
Sunnis and Shiites enjoy killing each other for Allah's sake!
We infidels and jihadi materials have no roles in their battles including in Syria and Iran. A video on Mohammed is enough for all of them to join together and do hate marches, declare jihad and so on!
Also kick out all their agents like that Syrian Huaman Rights Observatory, criminal and backstabbing Gen Mush and others like him from Britain, US and Europe! Let them carry their battles from some Muslim nation.
See the damages done by Iraqi wars and Afghan war. Now the same bunch are no where to be seen. At least, they could plan how the NATO forces can run!!
Followers of Islamic cult, especially Sunni Saudi inspired Islamic radicals and militants (al-Qaida, Salaffi, Wahhabi, MB, Taliban and other label ones), are fast marching backwards to their seventh century desert tribal days.
They are indulging in rapings, lootings, killings and genocides of non-Muslims (Darfur, S. Sudan, Nigeria and spreading like wild fire in many regions and Muslims (Libya, Mali, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other places).
In Egypt, Sunni Saudi backed Salaffi and MB are opening chapters. Just watch the fate of Christians, women and Israel as the time goes by.
Even in Syria, if Assad is overthrown by Sunni Islamic religious Nazis like al-Qaida, MB, the conditions of Christians will be unbearable just like Iraq.
In Afghanistan, half of NATO forces deaths are due to Pakis.
These two "strategic allies" have crippled US and allies so badly that US and allies can't do much anywhere and anything!
When Religion becomes the most important part of our lives, life itself become unimportant. The transition between this world and the next becomes the reality that matters most.
Out of all the "sacred books" in the world, the part that makes us different and more tolerant is our "New Testament" which is the part of Christianity. "Christians" sometimes hate each other to death but we don't kill each other solely for Religious differences.
Yes Jonathan we should learn their history considering they learned allot for the crusades when the Catholic Pope gave the crusaders absolution to murder and rape at will in Jerusalem in order to convert the heathen Muslim and Jew to Catholicism. When you consider at the time, Islam was one of the most tolerant of religions of its time. How many people have died through the centuries because of organized religion it is the greatest sin, human kind must bear and there are few who are not guilty. So do not sit in judgement of anyone and condemn an entire people because of the actions of a few. Take the time to read the true histories of all people and not just the history western civilization preaches. On a last note you and everyone especially those in the Muslim religion preaching hate and intolerance should read Mohammed's last sermon to his people, where he states that we should be tolerant of all religions and learn from them and we should not treat women as possessions but as partners and much more.
It is not religion that is corrupt but the men who preach it.
Muslims are killing muslims in the 21st century. Look at Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, North Africa. What does that tell you and the rest of the civilized world?
The Sunnis keep going at the Shiites with more vengeance than ever. We've seen the Taliban massacring the Shiites in Pakistan as we see this happening all over. It's going from bad to worst and will bring death and destruction driven by hate like we haven't seen yet.
And these two sides see the Western allies of each other's sect as enemies as well.
