Bombs kill 36 in Iraq on Shiite holy day

BAGHDAD, Iraq -

Assailants struck Shiite worshippers in three Iraqi cities Tuesday, killing at least 36 people in bombings and ambushes during the climax of ceremonies marking Ashoura, the holiest day in the Shiite calendar. Police, meanwhile, questioned hundreds of suspects rounded up after a fierce weekend battle aimed at preventing even deadlier attacks.
