Thirteen Shi'ite pilgrims on their way by foot to a shrine city in central Iraq were killed on Monday when a female suicide bomber blew herself up at a rest station in Baghdad, an army spokesperson said. A least 38 pilgrims were injured in the blast, said Major General Qassim Atta, spokesperson for Baghdad operational command. "At 11.45am [local time], a woman wearing an explosives-filled belt blew herself up in the middle of a crowd of pilgrims going to Karbala," said Atta. "The initial report, according to the Health Ministry, is that 13 people were killed and 38 wounded." -- AFP  CONTINUES BELOW TOPICS IN THIS ARTICLE
