Again one wonders why Suicide Bombers and Terrorists feel value targets are innocent Pilgrims who whose death will not make any Terrorist friends with anyone, and hurt their cause, as many, including me, wish they need to wiped off the face of this earth, no courts, no surrender, just a well place bullet to the head.

Bomb strikes pilgrims in Iraq for 3rd straight day

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD – A car bomb exploded Saturday as Shiite pilgrims were boarding minibuses in Baghdad, killing at least six people.

It was the third consecutive day that extremists targeted travellers en route to the holy city of Karbala. Despite the violence, hundreds of thousands of worshippers streamed toward the twin golden-domed mosques amid tight security in the city south of Baghdad.

Men and women filed through separate metal gates to be searched. The explosives-laden car blew up about 9 a.m. near minibuses assembled to pick up pilgrims in Baghdad’s mainly Shiite district of Shaab.
