Iraqi policemen stand guard as pilgrims walk toward Karbala, from Najaf, 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Baghdad, and, 70 kilometers (45 miles) southeast of Karbala, Iraq, Thursday, March 16, 2006. Thousands of Shiites pilgrims from all over Iraq are arriving in Karbal, to participate in a ceremony on March 20, 2006, marking the fortieth day of the death of Imam al-Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. In view of this authorities have imposed a six-day driving ban in Karbal, starting Thursday in a bid to protect pilgrims from any attacks. (AP Photo/Alaa Al-Marjani)
