Iraqi security hiked as millions mark Arbaeen pilgrimage
Baghdad - UPI
Iraqi officials say they have increased security in southern parts of the country as millions of Shiite Muslims began a pilgrimage to the holy city of Karbala. Roads have been sealed off and checkpoints added to protect the expected 20 million pilgrims from terrorist attack, Tasnim news agency reported Monday. The pilgrimage celebrates Arbaeen, the end of 40 days of mourning on the anniversary of the martyrdom of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam Hussein. About 1.3 million foreigners are among millions of worshipers who have already entered the city, local officials say. Observance of Arbaeen was prohibited for 30 years during the reign of Saddam Hussein.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
