IRAQ-RELIGION-SHIITE-ARBAEEN
A member of the Iraqi security forces walks in front of Shiite Muslim pilgrims on a main road in Baghdad as they head to the shrine central city of Karbala on December 9, 2014 for the Arbaeen religious festival. Arbaeen marks the 40th day after Ashura which commemorates the seventh century killing of Prophet Mohammed's grandson, Imam Hussein. The holy Iraq city of Karbala sees millions of Shiite visitors every year over the 40-day period of mourning that follows the annual commemoration of the death of Imam Hussein, who was slain by the forces of the caliph Yazid in 680 AD.
