Description
Shiite Muslims perform mourning rituals marking Ashura in Iraq's holy city of Karbala, the burial place of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed. The emotional event commemorates the 7th century battlefield martyrdom of Hussein, whom Shiites view as the rightful successor to the Prophet Mohammed, the issue at the heart of a schism with Sunni Islam.
