A CAR BOMB KILLED AT LEAST FOUR PILGRIMS NEAR A SHRINE SOUTH OF BAGHDAD ON SATURDAY, A DAY AFTER THE BOMBING OF A MOSQUE TO THE NORTH KILLED AT LEAST 79 PEOPLE. FRIDAY'S ATTACK, IN WHICH MORE THAN 160 PEOPLE WERE WOUNDED, WAS THE DEADLIEST IN IRAQ THIS YEAR. SUICIDE BOMBERS, ONE WEARING WOMEN'S ROBES, SET OFF THEIR EXPLOSIVES AS WORSHIPPERS LEFT THE BURATHA MOSQUE AFTER THE MAIN WEEKLY RELIGIOUS SERVICE. AS RELATIVES BURIED THEIR LOVED ONES, THE CAR BOMB EXPLODED IN MUSAYYIB, 60 KILOMETERS (40 MILES) SOUTH OF BAGHDAD, HITTING PILGRIMS WHO'D TRAVELED THERE FROM SURROUNDING CITIES, SAID MUSAYYIB'S POLICE CHIEF, LT. COL. AHMED MIJWAL, ACCORDING TO A REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
