16 dead in stampede at Iraqi Shiite shrine —Ministry TuesdayThoughts Nigerians
At least 16 pilgrims died Tuesday in a stampede at a major shrine in the Iraqi city of Karbala as they marked the holy day of Ashura, the health ministry said.
It is the deadliest stampede in recent history during Ashura when Shiite pilgrims from around the world swarm Karbala to commemorate the death of Hussein, Prophet Mohammed’s grandson.He was killed in the year 680 by the forces of the Caliph Yazid, a major event which helped solidify the divide between what would become Islam’s Sunni and Shiite branches.
