Ashura Massacre 3/3/2004

CURAQ is deeply outraged, angered and shocked by the massacres which took place in Baghdad and the holy city of Karbala yesterday when cowardly terrorists killed 182 innocent civilians who were commemorating the religious occasion of Ashura for the first time since 1977 as it has been banned by the regime of Saddam Hussein. Officials said that at least 112 people died in the holy city of Karbala and about 70 were killed in Kadhimiya, Baghdad and was Iraq's bloodiest day since the end of the war. In defiance of the terrorists who are trying to create instability and sectarian hatred in Iraq, the people bravely carried on the Ashura rituals. The Iraqi Governing Council has called for unity and declared three days of national mourning throughout the whole country.

Our condolences and prayers go out to the relatives of the dead.
