A Shiite man beats himself with blades during a Muharram procession in Kabul on December 6, 2011 to commemorate the martyrdom of Hussein bin Ali in the year 680. A suicide bomber struck a crowd of Shiite worshippers at a mosque moments later, killing scores of people in the deadliest of two attacks on a Shiite holy day - the first major sectarian assaults since the fall of the Taliban a decade ago.
