August 20, 2006
BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Police arrested three gunmen who fired
on pilgrims in Baghdad on Sunday, Iraqi state television said,
as hundreds of thousands massed for a sacred Shi’ite festival
in which 1,000 died in a stampede last year.
Eyewitnesses said separately the men had fired from a Sunni
mosque in west Baghdad. There were no details of casualties.
