More Deaths As Iraq War Enters Fourth Year

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Roadside bombings killed at least eight Iraqi policemen on Monday's third anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion, and authorities said they found 15 bullet-riddled bodies dumped in the capital.

South of Baghdad, millions of Shiite pilgrims poured into Karbala to complete 40 days of symbolic mourning for Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson.

The Shiite Muslims carried flags and performed rituals of self-flagellation with chains and machetes to display grief over Hussein's death. Some 4 million pilgrims had arrived at the city, said Karbala Gov. Akeel al-Khuzai, who expected more through Tuesday.

The commemoration has been marked by deadly insurgent attacks in the past. In 2004, coordinated blasts at Shiite shrines in Karbala and in Baghdad killed at least 181 people.
