Iraqi officials say two Iranian pilgrims visiting Shiite shrines in Iraq were killed when a bomb went off next to a minibus they were traveling in. Nine other Iranians were wounded in Wednesday’s explosion, as well as eight Iraqis who were nearb, stated police and medical officials in Baghdad. The Iranians were traveling from the northern city of Samarra, home to a holy Shiite shrine, to another Shiite shrine in the Kazimiyah neighborhood in Baghdad. They were about 15 miles (25 kilometres) northwest of Baghdad when the bomb went off. Religious pilgrims are often targeted by Sunni extremists who claim that Shiites are not true Muslims.
