July 22 (Bloomberg) -- Six Iranians were killed and 31 were injured in a shooting in Iraq, where they planned to visit Shiite Muslim shrines, Iran’s state-run Mehr news agency said.

The attack, killing five women and a man, took place late yesterday near Khanaqin, an Iraqi town northeast of Baghdad, on a route to the capital from the border with Iran, an official
from Iran’s pilgrimage organization told state-run Fars news. The pilgrims probably were from the Iranian city of Mashhad, he said. The bodies of the dead will be handed over to Iran today, a local governor told Mehr. The wounded will also return today.

Dude that is so cold hearted, this is an terrorist attack on innocent civilians, women and children and this is how you are commenting? Your hate if Islam blinds you to compassion.

FYI 5 of the killed were women.

Pilgrims?

Noting the cold blooded killings of these men and women does not advance my regime-change agenda for any exiled groups or Israel. Their blood is less worthy, as thoroughly demonstrated here.
