Ashoura Attacks Hit Iraq Amid Sectarian Tensions
The eve of Ashoura sees coordinated blasts in Iraq killing and wounding dozens as Shiites, who are about 60 percent of the population, face renewed violence. Officials accuse Abu Musab al-Zarqawi linked groups and former Baathists of trying to spark a sectarian civil war while calls for unity rise among Shiites and Sunnis. The incident coincides with last month’s elections that gave the United Iraqi Alliance a 48 percent share.
