ISIS hides bombs in dolls and toys to massacre Shiite children
The Islamic State had planned to distribute toy-bombs on the road between Baghdad and Karbala. More than 17 million Shiite Muslims would gather there next month to celebrate Arbaeen, a Shiite religious holiday marking the end of the 40-day period of mourning following the anniversary of the death of Imam Hussein. The booby-trapped bombs have been discovered by security forces in al- Husseiniya, a predominantly Shiite suburb in northeast Baghdad.
