At least 50 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on Shia pilgrims in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, Iraqi police and security sources say. The attack was aimed at pilgrims marking the festival of Arbain, one of the main holy days of the Shia calendar, reports say. Security had been tight amid fears of insurgent attacks during the festival. Scores of people have been killed in attacks on pilgrims in the last few weeks, reports say. Medical sources in Basra say they have also treated 91 people injured in the attack. The attacker targeted Muslim Shia pilgrims at a checkpoint they use on their way to a major Shia mosque in the Zubeir district, some 20km (12 miles) south-west of Basra. The area is frequented at this time of the Muslim calendar by Shia Muslims in southern Iraq who are unable to reach the shrines of the main holy city of Karbala further north, says the BBCs Nahed Abouzeid in Baghdad. "A terrorist wearing a police uniform and carrying fake police ID managed to reach a police checkpoint and blew himself up among police and pilgrims," a police official at the scene of the bombing is quoted as saying by Reuters news agency. Victims are said to include several policemen.

Bombers Target Provincial Iraqi Governor In Diwaniya, a city south of Iraq, several bombs exploded at a checkpoint outside a provincial governors house killing at least 25 people and leaving 35 wounded on June 21.

The majority of the victims were said to be the guards. The neighboring house of Dr, Maha Al Sagnan, a local doctor was damaged from the impact of the bombs. Dr, Al Sagnan said he saw the bodies of three guards on the ground. Diwaniya is an impoverished; predominantly Shiite region consisting of a number of active Iraqi armed groups. Since February numerous attacks have been aimed at local government properties. Security officials have said they expect an increase of attacks on provincial offices. Although the number of sectarian attacks has decreased since their peak in 2006-2007, Sunni groups and rival Shiite militias continue to clash, As US troops prepare to withdraw from Iraq by the end of this year, violence towards security officials continue.
