BAGHDAD, Nov 17 (Reuters) – At least seven foreign Shi’ite
Muslim pilgrims were killed and another 25 wounded when a car

hospital sources said.
A parked car blew up near a restaurant on the outskirts of
Balad, 80 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad, killing pilgrims from
Iran and Pakistan who were travelling back to Baghdad from the
