Baghdad: 28 killed in bomb attacks on religious pilgrimage

At least 28 people were killed and 92 others injured when three suicide bombers and a roadside device struck Shiite pilgrims taking part in a massive religious procession in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, today.

The attacks happened in quick succession as tens of thousands of Shiite worshippers streamed toward a shrine in northern Baghdad for an annual event marking the death of an eighth century saint, which climaxes tomorrow.
