An Iraqi Shiite man shouts religious slogans as he cuts his scalp with a sword during the Ashura rituals in front of Imam Ali's shrine in the holy city of Najaf in central Iraq, 19 January 2008. Around two million Shiites from Iraq and abroad are taking part in the nearby shrine city Karbala, 110 kilometres (70 miles) south of Baghdad, in the mourning ceremony today, guarded by a 20,000-strong security force. The Ashura rituals commemorate the killing of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammed, by armies of the Sunni caliph Yazid in 680. AFP PHOTO/JOSEPH EID
