Pakistani Shiite Muslim mourners queue u

Pakistani Shiite Muslim mourners queue up for security checks as they arrive to take part in religious rituals during an Ashura procession in Lahore on January 8, 2009, on the tenth day of the holy month of Moharram, to mark the martydrom of seventh century saint Imam Hussain. Hundreds of thousands of Pakistani Shiite Muslims staged religious processions on Ashura to commemorate the death of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson Hussain at Karbala in modern-day Iraq in 680 AD. Reciting elegies and hymns, participants carry black banners and march behind replicas of Imam Hussain's tomb in Iraq, whipping their backs in a display of devotion.
