IRAQ-RELIGION-ISLAM-SHIITE-ASHURA

This picture taken on September 11, 2019 shows a view of the facade of the Bab al-Raja gate of the courtyard of the Imam Hussein shrine in the central Iraqi holy city of Karbala, where more than 30 pilgrims were killed and dozens injured during a stampede that occurred there day before during Ashura commemorations. It is Iraq's deadliest mass stampede in recent history during Ashura, whose commemorative marches were previously targeted by Sunni extremist groups. Hundreds of thousands of Shiite pilgrims from around the world swarmed Karbala, around 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of Iraq's capital Baghdad, to commemorate the death of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson, Hussein.
