Suicide car bomb hits Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad
A suicide car bomber struck a flatbed truck carrying Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad, igniting a massive fireball and leaving at least 32 dead.

Mustafa Moussawi, a 31 year old vendor, described how the car bomb slammed into the truck as they moved through Embassy Intersection.
