On Friday (Feb 13th) , two cars blocked a bus carrying pilgrims from Baghdad to a key Shia shrine in the northern, mainly Sunni, city of Samarra. Seven gunmen opened fire, killing five and wounding six of the pilgrims in the attack at around 5 a.m. (10 p.m EDT on Thursday) near Tarmiya, 25 km (15 miles) north of the capital, a local police source said.

The same pattern of terrorist killing of the Shia shows their roots to be the same whether they kill the innocent Shia people in Chilas , Kohistan , Quetta , Karachi , Pakistan , or in Karbala, Iraq. They are the same Anti-Shia (Wahabi) terrorist , funded by Saudi .

A second incident occurred at 7.30 a.m. in the southern outskirts of Baghdad when gunmen killed two Shia pilgrims en route to the holy Shia city of Kerbala in Iraq’s south. Six others were wounded, police and hospital sources say.

While overall violence in Iraq has fallen since the peak of sectarian fighting in 2006-07, bombings and killings still occur daily. Most attacks are being done by the Anti-Shia (Wahabi) Arab insurgents, who are the remenants of Saudi funded insurgency.

On Wednesday, militants targeting Shia families in Baquba killed five people in bombings that occurred after leaflets were distributed telling Shia to leave the neighborhood or be killed.

Shia Rights Watch strongly condemn the explosion targeting Shia in Iraq  and ask the government to pay more attention to the Iraq situation, knowing that the country with majority of Shia cannot be unsafe like this. Foreign country do all they can to make the Shia live in fear in their own home.

On Tuesday March 20, 2012. At least 26 explosions across Iraq killed at least 49 Shia and wounding more than 200. It was Iraq’s bloodiest day in nearly a month, and the breadth of coordinated bombs in more than a dozen cities showed an apparent determination by insurgents to prove that the government cannot protect the majority Shia population.

Tuesday’s deadliest incident occurred in the southern Shi’ite Muslim holy city of Kerbala, where twin explosions killed 13 people and wounded 48 during the morning rush hour, according to Jamal Mahdi, a Kerbala health department spokesman.

“The second explosion caused the biggest destruction. I saw body parts, fingers, hands thrown on the road,” 23-year-old shop owner Murtadha Ali Kadhim told Reuters.

Tuesday’s attacks were the biggest since February 23 when dozens of explosions across the country killed at least 60 people.

At least 32 people were killed in blasts in Baghdad where 10 explosions tore through mainly Shi’ite neighborhoods during rush hour and other attacks targeted police patrols, commuters and crowds gathered in shopping areas.

In Thursday’s violence, one car bomb in the capital killed at least nine people and wounded 27 in the upmarket Karrada neighborhood, hurling shrapnel into the next street and blowing out glass from nearby buildings.

Witnesses saw four wrecked cars full of shrapnel and bloodied seats near an ice-cream shop at the site of another blast.

In at least three Shia neighborhoods in Baghdad, nine policemen were killed, and in the capital’s northwestern Kadhimiya district, a car bomb killed six Shia when it struck a street lined with restaurants.

In the biggest attack outside the capital, a car bomb killed seven Shia and wounded 33 in the town of Balad, north of Baghdad.

BAGHDAD — A series of explosions in Shia neighborhoods killed nine Shia and wounded dozens more on Tuesday (1-24-2012), the latest in a wave of sectarian attacks. During the past month, insurgents have increased their attacks against Shia’s, including pilgrims marching to a shrine in southern Iraq for one of their holiest rituals.The violence began early on Tuesday, while many Iraqis were heading to work.

Around 7 a.m., a car bomb exploded near a gathering of day laborers in the Shia neighborhood of Sadr City, killing six people and wounding 23. About half an hour later, another car bomb detonated near a bakery in the neighborhood, wounding 13.

An hour later, three explosions struck north Baghdad. A blast near a school in Shulla killed two people and wounded 10, including several students. Another person died in an explosion in the neighborhood of Huriya.

A wave of explosions struck two Shia neighborhoods in Baghdad, killing at least 36 Shia.

The attacks began with the explosion of a bomb attached to a motorcycle near a bus stop where day laborers gather to look for work in the Sadr city neighborhood. One of those who witnessed the attack said it filled the area with thick black smoke.

“Shia have real fears that the cycle of violence might be revived in this country,” said Tariq Annad, a 52-year-old government employee who lives nearby.

That attack was followed by the explosion of a roadside bomb. Police found a third bomb nearby and defused it.

The two Sadr City blasts killed 12 Shia, according to police and medical officials.

Less than two hours later, two explosions rocked the Shia neighborhood of Kazimiyah in the north of the capital, killing 24 people.

Officials said the Kazimiyah blasts occurred almost simultaneously, with at least one caused by a car bomb.

Hospital officials confirmed the causalities from the four blasts, which included more than 60 wounded.

Coordinated bombings, particularly those targeting Shia areas, are the hallmark of Sunni militants linked to al-Qaida.

Thursday’s attacks were the deadliest in Baghdad since Dec. 22, when a series of blasts killed 69 Shia. An al-Qaida front group in Iraq claimed responsibility for those attacks.

Ziad Tariq, spokesperson for the Iraqi health ministry, said total of 205 Shia were killed and injured in 10 bombing attacks that rocked nine neighborhoods of the capital on Thursday morning.

The attacks were carried out in the Allawi, Bab al-Muatham and Karrada districts of central Baghdad, the Adhamiyah, Shuala and Shaab neighborhoods in the north, Jadriyah in the east, Ghazaliyah in the west and Amal and Dura in the south.

The deadly incidents in Iraq took place at a time that the country is experiencing a critical situation.

Four explosions have rocked the Iraqi city of Karbala, around 118km south of the capital Baghdad, leaving at least 30 people dead and 66 more wounded, sources say.

The back-to-back explosions occurred on Sunday outside a governmental building and damaged many cars, police officials say.

The first blast tore though a crowd of guards and civilians gathered in front of an office issuing identity cards and passports, while the three other explosions went off a short time later as emergency services arrived.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, caused by explosive packages, according to police.

“I was inside my house when I heard a big explosion. When I got out I saw many people wounded and some bodies on the ground,” Mohammed Naeim, a local resident, told the Reuters news agency.

Bombings and attacks are once again becoming an almost daily occurrence, often targeting security personnel, after a drop in violence levels.

“The bomb attacks in Karbala today have so far killed nine people and there are 99 people wounded,” Alaa Hammudi, head of Karbala province’s health department, said.

He said the toll could further increase.

Lieutenant-General Othman al-Ghanimi, the army commander for forces across five provinces in central Iraq, including Karbala, put the toll at 10 dead and 86 wounded.

He said the four explosions included two roadside bombs, a car bomb and a suicide explosion, but did not say the order in which they happened.

Collapsed houses

An AFP journalist at the scene reported seeing several bodies covered in blood being taken away by paramedics, and major damage to vehicles and buildings, with some houses completely collapsed.

Security forces cordoned off the area in the aftermath of the attacks, the journalist said.

An interior ministry official said entrances to Karbala had been closed. Karbala is a predominantly Shia city that is home to the mausoleums of Imam Hussein and his half-brother Abbas.

It has frequently been the target of Sunni Muslim fighters in the past, such as on January 20 when a spate of blasts against Shia pilgrims on the outskirts of Karbala killed 45 people.
