   Officials in Iraq say at least seven Iranian pilgrims have been killed
   and  at  least 26 wounded in two separate bomb attacks in the capital,
   Baghdad.
   Interior  Ministry  officials say a car bomb and other explosives were
   detonated Saturday near a house used as rest stop for Iranian pilgrims
   in  Baghdad's  Kadhamiya district, killing five people and wounding at
   least 18 others.
   In  the  second  attack,  the  officials  say  a car bomb rammed a bus
   carrying Iranians in the capital's Shuala district, killing two people
   and wounding at least eight others.
   Many Muslim Iranians and Shi'ites from various countries flock to Iraq
   each year to visit the country's Shi'ite shrines.
