64 more unidentified bodies buried in Karbala

Karbala, Feb 8, (VOI) – A Karbala governorate official said 64 more unidentified bodies were buried on Thursday in the city cemetery.

"64 unidentified bodies were buried today in the Karbala major cemetery of (al-Wadi al-Jadid-the New Valley) after they were sent from a Baghdad morgue," the source told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

Al-Wadi al-Jadid is a major cemetery where a large number of the Shiite Muslims in Iraq bury their deaths for blessings as Karbala hosts the Shiite most sacred shrine where Imam Hussein, grandson of Prophet Mohammed, is buried.
