Hundreds of thousands of Shiites beat their heads and chests and whipped themselves with chains across much of Iraq to honor the martyrdom of one of their most revered saints. Two bombs hidden under trash struck an Ashoura procession in the city of Kirkuk, killing at least two. A rocket attack also struck a busy market in the northern city of Tal Afar, killing at least 7 people and wounding 17. Three suicide bombers targeted a police station in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar and a former Sunni insurgent stronghold. Guards killed one attacker, but two others detonated their explosives at the entrance, killing at least five officers. A US Marine was killed during fighting in Anbar. A roadside bomb killed another soldier in the rural al-Qaida in Iraq stronghold of Arab Jabour. The soldier who died was the gunner who sits atop the MRAP vehicle. The V-shaped hull of the huge Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) truck is designed to deflect blasts from roadside bombs. Three crew members tucked inside the cabin were wounded.
