Iraqi pilgrims caught in bombing

Police in Iraq say at least three Shia pilgrims have been killed in a bombing in southern Baghdad.
Separately, in Samarra north of the capital, a suicide bomber in a wheelchair attacked a police station.

An assistant police chief, Maj Gen Abduljabbar Rabia, was killed.

The attack on the pilgrims occurred as the group walked towards the city of Karbala, south of Baghdad, for an annual religious ceremony.

It came a day after a suicide bomber infiltrated another group of pilgrims south of the Iraqi capital, killing about 40 people.
