Suicide attackers killed at least 32 people and wounding over 100 after striking Shiite pilgrims taking part in a massive religious procession in Baghdad.
Police and health officials said the majority of the dead were women and children.
Doctor Faris was at a local hospital, where the injured were treated.

The attacks occurred in quick succession as tens of thousands of Shiite worshippers streamed toward a shrine in northern Baghdad for an annual event marking the death of an eighth century saint.
In a separate attack on Monday, a suicide bomber assaulted a crowd of Kurdish people in the northern city of Kirkuk, killing 25 and wounded over 180.
