Shafaq News- Baghdad
Around 2,887,305 visitors have entered Iraq from
abroad since the start of the Islamic month of Muharram to participate in the
Arbaeen in Karbala Province, the operations command overseeing the event under the
office of Iraq’s commander-in-chief of the armed forces announced Thursday.
Mohammed Al-Masoudi, head of the province’s Tribal

million pilgrims are still expected to participate from within Iraq and abroad
in Karbala in this year’s commemoration, with Wednesday’s Saudi-US airstrikes
not disrupting arrivals.
