Description
Tombstones stretch as far as the eye can see across Iraq's Wadi-al-Salam "Valley of Peace" cemetery, often described as the world's biggest, which bears silent witness to life and death over 14 centuries. "It is said that more than 200 funerals take place in Najaf on a single day," says historian Hassan Issa al-Hakim. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
