Thousands of Shiite pilgrims dressed in black marched on Saturday, heading on foot toward the golden twin-domed shrine of Imam Moussa al-Kadhim in the northwestern Baghdad district of al-Kadhimiyah.
The site in the Iraqi capital holds great religious significance for Shiite Muslims as it hosts the shrine of Imam al-Kadhim, the seventh of the Twelve Imams of Shiite Islam, who died in the late eighth century.
