Ashoura ends as Shiite pilgrims return home in Iraq
Hundreds of thousands of Shiite Muslims fled Ashoura crowds by bus or on foot while Iraqi authorities deployed 30,000 police and soldiers in Karbala after days of violence that left at least 72 dead elsewhere. In Gaza, Israeli strikes killed two Hamas militants as rockets and air offensives continued with civilian casualties.
