At least 41 people have been killed by a female suicide bomber in north-east Baghdad.
She detonated an explosives vest among a group of pilgrims making the journey to Karbala, 80km from Baghdad. At least 106 other pilgrims were wounded.
The Shia pilgrims were marking Arbaeen, the end of 40 days of mourning for the death of Prophet Muhammad's grandson.
The BBC reports the pilgrimage has been the target of similar attacks in recent years. Twelve months ago, 32 pilgrims were killed by a female suicide bomber near Baghdad.
