Pilgrims Targeted In Iraq

A car bomb killed eight pilgrims yesterday on the road to one of Iraq's holiest Shiite shrines, a site still being rebuilt after a 2006 attack.

The pilgrims were en route to al-Askari mosque in Samarra for ceremonies marking the death of Shiite Islam's 11th imam, a ninth-century successor to the Prophet Muhammad.
